50th Reunion Commentary: Married to Jean since 1980, we have three children between us, five grandchildren, and three greats. I am a kidney donor having helped my wife in 1996. Since retiring from Highline School District in 1989 after 30 years as a Machine Shop Foreman, my passion has been rust, searching for, buying, collecting, restoring, and selling it. Rust includes old flywheel-type gas engines, tractors, trucks, and collectibles. My main sources are auctions, garages sales, junk yards, and expeditions to different areas of the country. Currently I am restoring a 1946 Dodge Cab-over truck.
