I
retired in 1999 and have been helping my son in his business since then.
Sandy
and I have traveled some since retirement and have made our semi-annual
donations
in Las Vegas. My son and I act as the
pit crew on a historic
Winston
Cup NASCAR so that takes time to prepare the car. Our car was
sponsored
by Diamond Rio singing group. We race in the western states and had
pole
position at Phx. Int. Raceway until we cut a tire. It is an "E" ticket
ride
doing 150 MPH plus down the straight-away.
Hey, it keeps me out of the
bars!
Prior to retirement I was the Purchasing and Property Manager for an
insurance
company here in Arizona for 22 years.
Finally got tired of the
hassle
and decided to call it quits. I haven't
regretted it a bit. We were
not
able to make the reunion in 2001.

45
years! You've got to be kidding! I won't be able to attend the 2006
reunion
as we have a race scheduled for that weekend.
Yes, I am in my second
childhood
and still crew a vintage Winston Cup NASCAR Thunderbird that was
sponsored
by Diamond Rio singing group. We had the opportunity to meet the
group
this year and they all aut6ographed the car.
We race the California
tracks
and southwestern tracks with PIR (Phoenix International Raceway) our
home
track. I still would rather do a 150
mph in the race car than 50 mph
on
the streets. Much safer! I visited the Loveland area on business
during
the
summer of '05, along with the family. I
got to show my grandson some of
the
old haunts but he wasn't too impressed.
It takes more to impress this
younger
generation. I continue to help my son
in his business so it keeps
me
active and on the go. We do quite a few classic car auctions throughout
the
year and have had the opportunity to meet some very interesting people.
Oh,
he owns an automotive detailing business and we clean anything from
aircraft
to RVs, to horse trailers, and quite a few cars, too. I know all
of
you will have a great reunion and "tip" one for me.
