My wife of 46 years died in 2011 from surgery related to ovarian cancer. Missed diagnoses, late discovery, bad recommendations on surgery sadly brought an end to her life. In Duluth, Peggy taught in an elementary school classroom and also taught children with special learning and behavior problems. Gene did counseling and psychotherapy, social service administration, program evaluation, data analysis, and social service contracting. We have traveled in Europe, Zimbabwe, United States, Canada, South America and Mexico and look forward to more of that. We have enjoyed classical and jazz music, reading, stage performances, and we look forward to more of that also. The various rooms will give you added ideas about our interests and activities.. We have also enjoyed our children and their families. Alone now, I look forward to more of that as well. And, I look forward to continuing relationships with old friends and meeting new friends. Having children is a great deal of work even though our children were good children, students and citizens. Now they are good adults, workers, parents, and citizens and we enjoy their kindness and care a great deal. Below are pictures of our three grandsons and our granddaughter. They are wonderfully unexplainable beings. A lot of work for their parents and not quite so much work for me their grandfather or, as they say, papa. All are a great deal of fun.. As they learn about their world and interpret it through their eyes I am the one who learns of new ways to look at the world.

By
way of brief background; I have been living in St. Paul, MN since October
2004. I amretired and moved to Blacksburg, VA in March 1998 after
living
in Duluth, MN for nearly 30 years. We moved back to Minnesota to be nearer
our children and grand children. In Duluth we enjoyed some skiing,
ice
skating, child rearing, sailboating on Lake Superior, motorcycling, and
working at steady jobs. In Blacksburg, home of Virginia Tech, we became
interested in some of the cultural events happening, did quite a bit
of
bicycling, movies, reading, woodworking, sports car driving and other
things.
