To answer your question as to my profession, Since in TX. I have been involved in the Oil, Gas & Nuclear Industry. Most of my assignments are involved in the Quality Assurance / Quality Control arena and Project Management. Mostly new construction and quite a lot of remedial work in the recent past. When I left WV in 1964, I went to Ohio for employment. I was in upper management for Ford Motor Company. Our oldest son & daughter were found to have some back problems while taking a physical exam. for a Safety Patrol Trip to the Nation's Capital. The doctor informed us if we wanted the kids to feel better, "Get them out of the cold weather." So we moved to Jackson, Ms. for one year and I was offered a position in Houston a year later. I have traveled extensively in the USA, Europe, The Middle East, Canada and Mexico. Here in Israel, I am a representative for Israel Electric Corporation to Certify new construction of On & Offshore equipment for the power plants and related facilities.

I married a girl from Wheeling / Bethlehem area. We have three sons and two daughters.
Kimberly, now a Nurse in Houston
Kenny, now a Regional Manager for Dollar General Stores
Kathy now a homemaker in St. Louis, Ms./ son In law a District Manager for Fed Ex
Kevin, now a Pastry Chief at the University of Chicago Club in Chicago, Il.

My wife Jane worked for Exxon Exploration in Houston until 1993. She took an early out to join me on an assignment in St. Croix United States Virgin Islands.
Jane and I as you know live in Montgomery, TX. We have a very comfortable place in April Sound on Lake Conroe. Currently have 7 grandsons and one grand daughter. We have a Chihuahua named Pepe', and three Chinese Crested dogs Ninji, Fiji and Nina. They now are our babies.
You can find April Sound on the web at www.aprilsound.com. Actually we are 200 miles south of Dallas and 200 miles east of San Antonio. Now we do enjoy San Antonio, especially the River Walk area. In the late 80's and early 90's I had assignments in Portland, Oregon and Seattle, WA. respectively. Found both states to be very beautiful. Closest to feeling at home as any place we've ever been.
