Retired

After military service I joined Caterpillar Tractor Co. Spent 5 1/2 years with Cat in Europe. Came back from Europe to Cleveland for four years then quit Cat and became a Sales Manager for a Caterpillar Dealer in OXnard, CA. Retired as the Vice President and General Manger of the Caterpillar Dealer in San Diego covering San Diego County and Hawaii.

As of June, 2013 we live in Bernalillo, New Mexico, which is 15 miles north of Albuquerque. We are closer to our younger son and his wife and five children.

Received the Price Gettinger award as the outstanding bandsman of the year (1962).
The Theta Xi national magazine (The Unicorn) named me as one of the three outstanding graduates of U. C. Davis, Beta Epsilon (1962)

See comments above. Since retiring I have written and published four books, served on the board of the Camp Pendleton Historical Society, given presentations at the Association of American Cut Glass Conventions, acted as President of our local cut glass chapter, and taught myself how to play the keyboard. I am now the Secretary for the Albuquerque Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution. Been retired for twenty years and it's great.
