I was very fortunate to have been raised by caring parents. My mother was a school teacher and my dad a civil engineer. Most of my mothers interests centered around church work and she raised dogs. Dad did a lot with boyscouts and had many hobbies, boating, mountain climbing, watching baseball and football, stamp collecting, and of late building miniture houses. He will be 91 Nov. 4, 1998 and has kept a diary of each and every day since age 9.
