I've been semi retired since 2000. I'm currently doing wine and cheese promotions (someone has too!!) to keep somewhat busy. I also do loads of charity work and I'm currently Grand Knight of our parish Knights of Columbus. Kathy and I love cruising, when we get time. We went to all the nice places that you can't go to anymore because of the insane world we live in. Don't want to get started on any political rant!!! Since NFA, I've been all over the globe. After graduating with a BBA from Eastern New Mexico Univ. I went to work for the Public Service Company of New Mexico as a Management Trainer and spent 7 yrs with the company. In 1981, I was hired by the Arabian American Oil Company in Saudi Arabia (ARAMCO) and retired after 20 yrs (another story). We moved to Cedar Park (outside Austin) and have been here ever since. We have two adult children (sometimes!!) Jennifer 31 and lives in Austin and Stan 41 lives in Avandale, AZ with his wife and my two grandson's Tristan 5 and Justan 1.  Anyway, that's the short version I could write a book on my life in Saudi Arabia, but who would be interested. It was a better simpler time to be overseas until the first Gulf War. We lived in Dhahran (near the airport) so we had ring side seats, along with gas masks, SCUD missiles, Patriots to shoot them down and oil fires that turned summer into winter. I worked as a Management Developer to mostly Saudi supervisors, yes I learned to speak Arabic, gained an understanding of the religion and culture. I need to do this to better educate more to my students. We, along with other families hosted our Marines on weekends at our home, to give these young scared but very brave young Marines a taste of back home cooking. ARAMCO was also given permission by the US gov. and commanding general, to allow many of us Americans to visit the Marines on the front line. We cooked them loads of BBQ, played football and other sports which helped morale. Hell, I'm starting to ramble!!
