Arizona State Flag

   I live in Arizona, And I have lived here for 30+ years now.   I was born in Illinois, in a small town by the name of Kewanee.   My wife and I got married there and moved out to Arizona in very early 1969, and we had daughter shortly after that. And a son 3 years later. We got married in August of 1966.  When I moved out here,  I joined the Carpenter's  Union and I am still a member yet today.  I went to Alaska in the mid 70's to work on the Alaskan Pipeline.  I have worked with my present company now for 10 years. I am a project manager, and I am currently working for Motorola as a Project manager on some of there big projects.  I really enjoy my job and profession, it has been good to me for many years and I am not tired of it at all.
   

Working in Alaska was a real experience for me and I really matured a lot there. I was away from home for three months at a time, for 3 years. All the money I made is all gone now. But it was nice for awhile. 
    

Last September 21st I had to go in for Prostate Cancer surgery. I was really scared to hear the word cancer, but as it turned out I did real well and all is just fine now. I am glad it is over but I hope no one, ever has to go through it like this.  I have a page to answer questions for people as I couldn't get any help or answers before I had  mine.  Being 50+ years old it was kind of hard to think of living with cancer from then on. Now my way of thinking has changed a lot. And I do appreciate things more and take nothing for granted.  And I thank God all the time.  My wife and son were  really a big help for me also, with out them by me I may not have been able to make it, back so soon. 
  

I am very interested in the www. now.  I teach HTML at a place called Web Tech University and I also try to educate people about making there pages accessible to the disABLED. That way everyone can enjoy the internet.
