Got married for the first time in 1966, divorced in 1976. Two sons were born of that marriage. Got remarried in March of 1992 and have been married to Brenda since that date. Being a travel agent we have done a lot of traveling in our 18 years, to Europe, Tahiti, Alaska, New England for the fall colors. I do a lot of groups, meaning put cruises and bus tours together for large groups. We have about 20 to 25 of us who travel together every year. I was a court reporter for 39 years in Contra Costa County and been a travel agent for 20 years. When I retired from the courts I stayed with travel because it's something that I still enjoy doing. As far as court reporting goes, I felt after 39 years I had heard enough smut for five lifetimes and I wanted out. During my adult life I have done several forms of ministry including Kairos Prison Ministry, Kairos outsdie for the wives and mothers and significant others of men incarcerated in the prison system, was in leadership before remarrying in a singles ministry at Calvary Temple Church. My wife and I have also done couples ministry and divorce recovery ministry through a couple different churches in our area. I feel truly blessed to live the way I do in retirement. We have the house paid off and don't have to pinch pennies and can shut the door and hit the road whenever we feel like it.
