I've been married since 1976 to LaVerne Hess.  Our current address is 26381 Meadowbrook Lane Richland Center.  We moved here on Dec. 31, 2004. Before that we lived in Bear Valley, in Sauk County.

     I've worked at Allen Bradley, which is now call Rockwell Automation since 1973 and hope to retire at the end of 2010.  Rockwell makes motor control centers.   I'm a systems tester, and I do the electrical testing before the product ships.  I was able to get into this with in plant training; many years ago.

    We have 2 grown children. Michelle who is married to Tom Feryance and lives in RC also.  She works at UBC as a drafter/estimater.  Mitch is currently in Fond du Lac, Wi. and is going to school for web design. 

      I have tried many hobbies over the years, but the only thing I keep doing is sewing.  Mostly quilts.  I hope to do more of this when I retire.

      I'm hard of hearing, I wear hearing aids in both ears.  It was really hard to talk at the last reunion I attended at the White House, so don't know whether I'll go to the dinner or not, but plan on attending the dance.
