Life story

The first twenty one years I lived in Haguenau, France. Born at my Parents home on May 14th, 1939. My mother was a “stay at home mom” raising three children, living in a comfortable home with coal burning stoves, eating home prepared meals three times a day. Elementary School in Haguenau with grades one through six taught in a total of three classrooms. Tried to participate in sports but not very well coordinated, Had a lot of fun while riding bike - Graduated in 1981, Snow Junior College in Ephriam, Sanpete County for five quarters. not an exciting time, but named to the Deans honor roll. Volunteered for environmental movements and I was passioned for mother nature. Also participated in 1985 in Tour de France and finished the tour as participant number 204.

We made our home in the Salt Lake area, relocating to our present home in Granger, (West Valley City) in 1990. Studied at Business, Graduated from the University of Utah with a BS in Management. Employed by Learn family of companies for fifteen years, Hercules Aerospace for fifteen years, WordPerfect and Utah Scientific. Retired from employment in 2002 because I had an eye problem that prevent me from teaching at schools.
