Summary:Well, it's been 30 years.  How things and times have changed.  From the cursing of Washington Blvd on a Friday night after a stomp to liberating watermelons from Hansen's farm.  From cliff diving at pineview to skiing every other day at Snow Basin (had to go to class at lease twice a week at Weber to keep my grades up).  Those were the days.  

I served an LDS mission in Melbourne Australia.  Spent a few years at Weber State College.  Worked for PepsiCo and Hilton Hotel until one day I realized that working 60 hour a week was taking me away from the things I loved, my wife and kids.  I married Cindy Helm 25 years ago.  Cindy is a Customer Service Manager for Harmon's Grocery Stores.  We have three girls, two birds, one dog and 10 fish (at the last count).  Kacee, 25, RN, one semester left to have her Associate Degree in nursing.  She is planning to work at a local hospital in management.  Kari, 22, dental student, just under two year left.  Plans to work somewhere in the Ogden/Roy area.  Samantha, 18, a senior at Roy High.  Also attending cosmetology school at the ATC.  She plans to attend Weber State this fall going into primary education and administration.

I decided a 40-hour a week, leave the job at work job, was just what I needed.  I worked for the Internal Revenue Service for 16 years in accounts management.  I now work for the Taxpayer Advocate Staff. (Having problems with the IRS?).  I did volunteer work with the World JR Curling Committee, the World Curling Committee and the SLC Olympic Committee.  I served as a Team Leader during the 2002 winter Games.  In 2003, I spent two weeks in Switzerland after winning the grand prize as a volunteer of the 2002 winter games.  I guess I didn't use up all my luck as a kid after all.  I still live in Roy and love it.  I love playing on my computer, working in my yard and Jet Skiing on Willard Bay.  I hope to see you all at the reunion.
