     After graduating from D.H.S. I attended Wayne State College for 2 years in Wayne, NE.  Bonnie and I married on October 24, 1959.  We began married life in Tekamah, NE.  We moved to Craig, NE, and lived there about two years, then moved to Lyons, NE.  We built our own home here and raised and graduated all our children here at Lyons.

     Most of my working years has been in Sales.  I took Social Security retirement in September 2003.  I worked at Sales (on a limited Basis) up until May of 2005.  I took the summer off to build a "sun room" on our home.

     I am presently working for School District 20 as a bus driver and part-time sales work for "Presco Sales & Service".  I work out of my home.

     My main interest is "Serving our God," Church, Family and Grandchildren.  "Having a Great Time!"

     Bonnie and I want to do more traveling in the summer months in the near future.
