(moved to Phoenix) National Marketing Manager with art department, copywriters,
print buyers, etc. Started selling real estate in 1979 in greater Phoenix/Scottsdale
area. Honored as one of the TOP 30 REALTORS Lifetime in Phoenix. Also started
and still have company that sells supplies to REALTORS nation-wide, have

to retire any time soon, maybe never. Will stay in Phoenix, AZ, it's like
vacation all the time; maybe Alaska in Summer

Have traveled to: All 50 states (many times each), Mexico,
Canada, Costa Rica and several countries in Europe
Of interest to other classmates: I attended the 10th
Class Reunion and never went again until the 40th & 45th and had a
great time meeting and seeing old friends and classmates after so many
years. Wish I had attended every Reunion but because of work, travel, and
other commitments was unable. The tour of the old high school was great,
sorry to see the desks from the old study hall were missing... really wanted
to see where I had carved my initials many, many years ago (ha!)
Things I remember about Albion High School: Good friends,
dating, rock & roll, dances, great cars. Duck hunting with Harlo Haines,
Dave "Animal" Morgan, and others. Art class with Miss Philips
which helped me greatly with jobs I have had and my hobby today.
