Classmates, 

After high school I attended Kansas State College, now Pittsburg State University, graduating with a major in math and minor in physical education.  I lettered in both football and track and field four years.  In 1976 I completed  a masters in guidance and counseling there. 

While in college I met my future wife, Judy Cremer of Pittsburg.  We married in 1970 and have a son Brett and a daughter Betsy.  Brett teaches and coaches in Cassville, Mo. and Betsy works with an animal control firm in Kansas City. 

Upon graduation I worked five years for Amoco Production Co. (Standard Oil) in Tulsa, Okla.  This was a job as a computer programmer in the information service dept.  Giving up the city, we moved to Neosho, Mo. for five years.  There I taught math in the high school and coached track and field, football and cross country.  In 1978 we moved to the University of Kansas for one year.  At K.U. I was an assistant men’s track and field coach.  I worked with the sprinters and hurdlers.  In the spring the team won the Big 8 championship.  In the summer of 1979 we moved to Monett, Mo. where we remain. 

I have taught math in the high school and am presently the elementary school counselor.  I have coached football at high and middle school and have remained the high school track and field coach through out the years. 

I have remained active with running, (ran one marathon) lifting weights and raising horses.  We have seven registered quarter horses and I break all of our own colts.  We are enjoying our life and looking forward to retirement.
