Bg’s Bio

I never thought of myself as much of a student, and perhaps it is that glitch that keeps me working at this job. After a fairly poor start at USIU (Cal Western in SD), I did figure out what teachers wanted and was able to give it to them.  I have yet to understand how Dean’s lists coincided with living in the 60’s San Diego culture. Win, Win I guess.

After college, I spent a couple of years in Mammoth enjoying the ski culture.  Among other things, I worked in a restaurant and learned about cooking outside of the home.  On Easter Sunday of the second season I managed to break my leg and I moved back to San Diego.

I moved in with my parents who had just built a house in North County. I began a relationship with Joanne, who had been a close friend in college.  On one of my visits to Midland Carl asked me if I wanted to work at Midland.  I wasn’t ready. A year later, he extended the offer again and I accepted. That was 1977. I married Joanne in December and James was born in 1983.  He graduated from Midland last year and is enjoying the big city and his first year at USC.

I am looking forward to our gathering in June. Midland has been a wonderful trip, colleagues, students, family, and friends. As one who lives in a somewhat out of sight out of mind state of conscienciousness, it has been good to have a place where folks like to come back and touch base. I have enjoyed seeing many of you over the years.
