School Story:    I have good memories of Reliance High School and the friends from the area. There is no real outstanding single school memory.



How often do you get back to Reliance?    I go back to visit my brothers and their families about three times a year.

Where is your favorite vacation spot?    We've been to Las Vegas, Cancun and the Bahamas. We've also visited our younger son and his family wherever they are (he is in the air force): Illinois, Rapid City, Wichita, KS, Wichita Falls, TX, Columbus, MS, numerous trips to Washington, DC and the Pentagon.

States you've lived in?    South Dakota and Nebraska

What do you do in your spare time?    I keep busy with family, automotive work, woodworking, and carpentry. I also do consulting for the Johnson-Brock Electric Vehicle program and substitute teach Industrial Tech.
