Meet The Board
"Born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. I served in the US Army, Infantry and spent 1968 in Vietnam, coming home as a First Lieutenant. Graduated from California State University, Dominguez Hills, with a BA and MA in English literature, linguistics, and writing. I have worked a variety jobs: cook; warehouse shipping clerk; on a pipeline gang and as a pipeline dispatcher for Union Oil; residential electrician; taught writing for Peninsula College extension; drove the bookmobile for NOLS; and sold real estate. I built and remodeled houses as a general contractor. I enjoy reading, writing, and occasional stabs at golf. And, somehow, I never seem to run out of projects. I look forward to the post-pandemic era when I can travel to far-away places. I have been married for fifty+ years. My wife and I bought our house in Port Angeles in 1976. I am happy my daughter and son-in-law live close by and that my favorite grand-daughter and her family also live here. I have been swimming at our pool since the late seventies and have been on the advisory committee for the pool."
