Who Would Have Guessed????
Subject: Fwd: Crime Scene photo

You Never Know About These Old Guys!!!

The officer asked, "Really? Who's giving that lecture at this time of night?"
Ron replied, "That would be my wife."

What Can I Say?
I'm interested in almost everything. Use to like to travel, but it's too expensive now. I take Tai Chi classes, swim, volunteer in a Jump-start program for pre-schoolers. I'm an avid reader and like nearly everyone these days I follow politics avidly. I'm a former teacher and Special Projects Coordinator for a Telecommunications company, Assistant to the President of a Japanese silicon wafer manufacturing company. Am now enjoying retirement -- most of the time. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two sons scattered all over the country. No grandchildren.
