We are 76 years young, & have been married for over 57 years.
We have 2 fine sons, 5 grandchildren, & 2 Great grandsons'.
I have been retired for over 18 years. I was a heavy equipment mechanic supervisor at the time of retirement.
Barb, has been a stay at home Mom throughout our marriage. After our Kids flew the nest, she's been taking care of me, the Grandpa now.
I have always been a woodworker. You name it, & I've made it, in some form , or another. I do woodcarving, wood turning, cabinets, chairs, carpentry, rustic furniture, & I have even built an electric guitar for one of my sons.
I've completely remodeled an older home, that we live in, have done home improvements on many other homes.
