in five years? That was 47 years ago, and have been
married to Marlene, who is a California native for 39 years so it looks as if I
will stay for the duration!! I have been retired for about 6 years now and have
played enough golf so that I can occasionally shoot in the mid eighties!!! Love
to work on the Family webpage and to find an extra cousin occasionally is
exciting!

Sharon Taylor in San Diego, Ca. He was teaching a computer class at
Coleman Colledge, however when the school became
accredited he was not certified so he lost his job! As most wife's
do Sharon convinced him that Texas was a better place to work and live, or it

several major contractors in the space industry and taught some evening classes
at schools in the Houston area.
