Ok, ok, ok, ok.....since I'm the one that asked for more profile info, I guess I should "do as I say". So........ After graduation I attended U of M. I lived in East Quad for one year then moved to South Quad and had a room next to Dan Dierdorf, Paul Stroba and what occasionally seemed like the whole U of M football team! My summers involved a counselor position at Camp Mahn-Go-Tah-See (The Great Heart) in Hale, MI. I moved into an apartment on Oakland Street in my Junior year and roomed with Chuck Poor, Bob (last name eludes me for now) and, because he was always there so much, Bob Funkey. I moved into an attartment on Church Street in my first year of dental school. I met my future wife, Cyndi, who was a friend of friends of my younger sister who was in the music school. Cyndi played the oboe, and went on to get her masters degree. We got married in my last year of dental school and lived at Green Briar Appartments on North Campus. After graduation we moved to Grand Rapids where she had a job in the Grand Rapids Symphony. Life went on. I established my practice, she played and taught, we bought a house, had two boys who grew up to have children of their own, we got older but somehow managed to look the same (YEAH....RIGHT!!), Anyway, that's all I got for now.

Sadly my retirement with all the trips my wife and I were going to take was cut short by her passing on January 4, 2019 at 10:10 pm. I know this exact time because I was holding her until the end.

For what it's worth, I retired from my practice of dentistry after 44 years July 16, 2018. All those years practicing and still learning. Now I'll see what else life has to offer.

That's me on the right! Lol!!
