50 Years! Are you kidding me?

Okay, the following is my attempt to condense those 50 years down to a few paragraphs. After high school, I attended CSI and Utah State, receiving my degree In Forestry. While at USU I met my future wife and within about 13 months we were married in the Salt Lake Temple. We then finished our last year of school together in Logan. After graduation I went to work in Stanley for the Forest Service for about six months and then decided to move to SLC to work on my MBA at the University of Utah. Started working construction for a period of time, during which we had two daughters, Brooke(1980) and Ashley(1983).

In 1983 I was hired by Salt Lake County Fire. I spent the next 21 years working as a firefighter/paramedic and loving every moment of it. Made some great friendships during those years. This was a period of time for our family that we spent lots of time together boating at Lake Powell. My girls still say that was some of the most fun we have ever had as a family. Also during this time, I was fortunate enough to be hired as a flight paramedic with Air Med out of the University of Utah Hospital for about ten years. I had some incredible experiences working with some amazing nurses and pilots.

In 2003 I was offered a paramedic position with Park City Fire, so I retired from SLCo Fire and started working the next day for PCFD and continued to work there for the next 14 years. In 2017, I retired a second time as an officer with the department. Again lots of good friends and memories were made in Park City. During my 35 years in emergency medicine I had the opportunity to deliver 8 babies. Okay, I didn�t really deliver them, I just caught them and cut.

My wife taught business classes at Jordan High school for 28 years and retired two years ago. For the past 15 years we have traveled extensively to numerous countries and have become quite fond of �cruising�, racking up 50+ at last count. We also enjoy skiing and biking together. We have five awesome grandchildren that we enjoy supporting in their different sporting events that also keeps us busy.

Just on a side note, during Covid in 2020, I had both of my knees replaced as well as a total shoulder replacement. Everything seems to be working great now. Other than that, I have had a very blessed life and am constantly grateful for what life has been up to this point. I�m keeping my fingers crossed!

If you got through all of this, Kudos to you! See you at the reunion.
