Phi Delta Theta FraternityWhat’s been happening: I was drafted into the US Army the summer I graduated from Whitman in 1958 and I was discharged after two years from Ft. Sheridan, IL in 1960 and I then worked 32.5 years at General Mills and moved many times, but spent 22 years at the headquarters in MN. I must include I met my lovely wife Marlene in the General Mills office on the Stanford campus and we just celebrated our 49th year of marriage. I retired in 1993 as my father-in-law was ill, and we decided to move close to my in-laws. When he passed in 1996, I accepted a job at a rice bran milling operation, which eventually was named NutraCea where I worked as VP, Sales for 12 years. When they relocated their headquarters to AZ and at 72 years of age and my wife and I decided it was time to retire from there as well. So here we are at Empire Ranch in Folsom, CA in a single story home and all three of our kids finished their Colleges in MN and WI and relocated in this Sacramento area, are married, and have blessed us with three grandkids, and we have another due to arrive in February. We have a great group of friends here, and we brag as we're the only couple that have all their kids living within 30-45 minutes of our home. We are truly blessed. Yours in the Bond. |
