Family News: Health, Marriage, & Professional

Heidi, my beloved wife of 30 years is doing well after her recent thyroid and salivary gland cancers and her thyroid removal surgery. She continues to teach a combined Kindergarten/First Grade Special Education class. She plans to go back to college soon to complete some more post-grad work relating to Autism while continuing to teach.

Our son Brian was recently married to an absolutely delightful woman named Kristi. We’re very happy to have her  become part of our family and vice versa.

Our son Ben is preparing to take his third of three annual CFA exams next weekend. I believe CFA stands for Chartered Finanacial Analyst and that it is as tough or tougher to attain than the CPA and CVA certifications that Ben has already earned. Erika, his great wife of 3 years is a News Producer for a  local TV station which is a major network affiliate.

Our daughter Stephanie is continuing her college education with the goal to becoming a Park Ranger Peace Officer.

I’m proud and grateful to have been blessed with such a wonderful family.
