In September of 1959 I entered Chico State. The Saturday before classes convened I met Sandra, who 8 months later became my wife. We were married in the Presbyterian Church on the CSU campus. That was 55 years ago this August.

Our two daughters were born in Chico.

• Tina our oldest, lives in Biggs, CA. with three of her four children; Chase (22),  Joelle (13) and Izabelle (12).  Joelle and Izabelle were adopted from China. Arielle (24), her oldest, is married to Christopher, and they have a daughter, Wynter Rae, who was 1 year old June 29^th. They live in Pollock Pines, east of Sacramento CA.

• Kelli, our younger daughter, lives here in Medford, OR, with her son Ryan (25).

 After graduation from Chico in 1965, I took a position with the University of California at Davis Education Television Department for a year, working in the Veterinarian large and small animal surgery, where I laid out the Computer and Video requirements for the Library, and the Veterinarian and Human Hospitals, which were built in the early seventies.

We then moved to the Bay Area and worked for Ampex Corporation as a design engineer.  Ampex sent me to Newport News, VA, where I was responsible for the NASA back-up equipment used in looking for the “Sea of Tranquility”, which later became the landing site for Neil Armstrong's Apollo 11 moon landing.

After Ampex, I joined Microwave Associates as engineering manager, designing Traveling Wave Tube Amplifiers (TWTA), which were used in space reconnaissance.

Next, I worked with Signetics as a technical chip design specialist. Signetics moved to us Orange County, where we lived during the 70’s. During our time in Orange County I worked in a variety of Technical Sales and Marketing positions, Digital Equipment Corporation (1^st time), Microdata, General Automation and Honeywell.

In May of 1970 Jesus Christ became Sandra’s, Tina’s, Kelli’s and my Lord and Savior. We attended Calvary Chapel of Costa Mesa for 10 years.

In November 1974, a team of five (5) from CCCM went to New Zealand where we taught bible studies and led evangelistic crusades all on the North Island.

In 1976 we purchased “Living Water Productions”, a wholesale distributor of Contemporary Christian Music (Maranatha) and Christian gift items. This provided many opportunities for teaching, evangelism, and one-on-one ministry.

In 1980 I made 2 trips to Shanghai, China, at the request of the People's Republic of China, representing various U.S. computer and electronics companies, to set an automated assembly line. However, the real purpose was to open an avenue to smuggle bibles into China, all in support of Brother Andrew. On the 2^nd trip I hand carried more than 1,000 bibles into Shanghai. The following year, Brother Andrew's teams carried in more than a 1,000,000 bibles, successfully.

In August of 1980 we moved back to Chico, with the express desire to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ on the CSU campus. From this grew Calvary Chapel of Chico, which I pastored for four years. During this time I assisted in the formation of Calvary Chapel of Gridley, and Calvary Chapel of Oroville. Sam Allen was called in 1984 to be the Senior Pastor of CC Chico, where he is today, with an active and vibrant body.

In addition to China and New Zealand, travels have included: Israel, England, Switzerland, France, Austria, Malaysia, Hong Kong and every state in the union except Alaska. Some on business, others for pleasure, but ultimately sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

In 1980, I walked with Arthur Blessitt from Virginia Beach, VA to Washington, DC, a distance of 250 miles, in 13 days, culminating in the “Washington for Jesus” crusade. Additionally, I participated in crusades including: Hollywood, Las Vegas, Orange Country, Los Angeles, San Diego and the Pomona Fair, as an outreach of Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN). Every Friday night, for over a year, we led witness teams into 1^st street in Santa Ana. This was the center of street-living and alternate life-styles.

In 1984, we returned to the Bay Area and the Electronic Industry. From 1984 through 2009, I worked for Digital Equipment (2^nd time), Tangent Systems, Cadence Design, High Level Design, interHDL, FasTrack Design, and Tuscany Design Automation. Each of these was involved with the computer industry or the software “Chip” design software (Electronic Design Automation, EDA). Primarily they were start-up companies. Most were successful in their product niche, which resulted in 6 of 8 being acquired by larger EDA companies.

In July of 1998 we move to Medford, Oregon, to be closer to the kids and grandkids. Tina was in Bend, OR at the time and Kelli was in Medford.

I became the CEO of Lava Logic (Washington DC) in 1999-2002 and traveled a lot.

In July of 2000, Sandra and I spent the entire month vacationing in Switzerland, Italy, France and Liechtenstein. This was our 2^nd trip to France and Switzerland. Switzerland and Italy are some of the friendliest places in Europe.

In 2010, I was the President & CEO of a multi-functional start-up company named ICR Systems.

ICR Systems – A hardware and software solution of an in-vehicle tracking, monitoring and histogram database, servicing Uninsured Motorists, User Based Auto Insurance and Alternate Gasoline Tax (ODOT & State Infrastructure Taxing)

LoCattle – Tracking livestock in open range, to thwart predators, rustlers and weather-related loss. LoCattle was also designed for tracking game preserve animals in Africa.

Alpine Technology – Complete all-in-one “Travel Toothbrush”, which included paste, floss and pick.

After seeking funding unsuccessfully, we suspended operations in 2014.

In 2011 I became a Teaching Assistant in Medford School District’s Special Education Department. The first two years were in a ‘FOCUS’ classroom (Elementary 4^th-6^th grades, with 12-15 students plus teacher and 2 teaching assistances). This past year I moved over to Medford North (4 year High School), creating lesson plans, testing, grading and recording, reporting student progress, coordinating schedules and reviewing all IEP’s in support of teacher’s caseload, where I will be again in the Fall.

Currently, I am attempting to launch a new venture around an Equine product, which I invented in 2004.

We live on 17 acres in East Medford. We enjoy our Morgan horses, and a very quiet life-style. I continue to teach in local churches occasionally, and share the Gospel at every opportunity.

We have been truly blessed beyond anything that can be expressed in a brief bio. The knowledge of our eternal relationship with God our heavenly Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit is foremost of these blessing. Second is a loving wife, a continual inspiration, and our daughters, 5 grand kids and one great granddaughter.

I look forward to hearing what has taken place in each of your lives, as when it is convenient.

May the LORD Jesus Christ richly bless you! May He open your hearts to the knowledge of His plan and will for your life. May your joy and fellowship in Him be complete! God Bless you and your families,

Job 9:32-33 (KJV) ³² for He is not a man, as I am, that I should answer Him, and we should come together in judgment. ³³ Neither is there any Daysman between us that might lay His hand upon us both. (Jesus Christ is the believer’s Daysman.)

Acts 4:12 (NKJV) ¹² Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. (Jesus Christ is our Salvation.)

Jeremiah 29:11 (NKJV) ¹¹ For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. (God is thinking about you continually – are you thinking about Him?)

I'm sorry I won't be back in time for the making it to our 50th... Bob just got tickets to France... but I may be back in time for the All-School Reunion. Please send my booklet to our Camarillo address. We only come up to Fairfield to let Bob check up on our construction company. He doesn't want them to get the idea that it will operate without him, now that we are retired. Ha ha.

I sent a picture of us "50 years later". We met in the fall of 1959 at college. These three little ones are the reason we are now in Southern California so much of the time.

Hope you are doing well and I look forward to getting the booklet and catching up on our classmates.
