Basically, I went to Utah State University, graduated in 1968. Spent next two years in the U.S. Army. Then went to Brigham Young University for some post-graduate work. Met my wife there. We married on 10 April 1973. We will be celebrating our big 40 in April. Shortly thereafter we moved to Anchorage, Alaska. I began employment with the Anchorage School District in 1975, retiring in 2009. Raised 6 kids. We are now empty nesters, enjoying spoiling our 12 grandchildren.
Enjoy riding my Honda Goldwing SE, enjoy living the Alaskan lifestyle (hunting, fishing, camping, downhill skiing, flying, sight seeing etc.) Was a certified ski-instructor; and Senior member of the National Ski Patrol at Alyeska Ski area for many years. Enjoy gardening and gourmet cooking. My favorite avocation is doing Genealogy research.

Grandson Xander, wife June, and Dennis There's a story behind this picture. Xander had gotten his shirt for Christmas from his other set of Grandparents. Unbeknowns to them I had a similar one. I wore this for the photo op. I had decided to give my Mackinaw to my son-in-law so they could be dressed similarly. BUT, when he put it on, very shortly after he had an allergic reaction to the wool and broke out in hives and his breathing became labored as he swelled up. Had to be taken to hospital for an epi shot. That's how my daughter almost became a widow!
