• I’m so sorry to read of Joel’s passing.  He was a great friend in college and at  Xerox.  Easy to know, easy to like, easy to respect—-always with a  smile with a “Hey how are you”,  and he meant it.    My best to his family in this very challenging time.

After Banning I attended Long Beach State where I played baseball and discovered Fraternity life. In spite of the distractions I graduated in 1969. I married my College sweetheart right after graduation. We both worked at Disneyland during and after school. She as a ticket seller and I was an Operator on the Jungle Cruise and Pirates. She & I had two children Allison & Lindsey, but unfortunately divorced in 1977. I was working for Xerox at the time in Century City and stayed single until 1980. I married a woman I knew from College but never dated. She & I ran into each other at the Market while we were shopping with kids in tow. She & I lasted 20 years raised our children together and had a pretty good life. About the same time I left Xerox to start my own business. I started a copier dealership in Irvine which I sold in 1995. I then started a sales training company and spent three years traveling and working with several companies from Alaska to Houston. I was doing some work with Xerox in Chicago when they asked me to return to take over the Sales Agencies in Long Beach and the South Bay. Which I did in 1998. In 2003 I once again married. I married a wonderful woman I have known and worked with for almost 20 years, Diane. Diane & I own and work at the Xerox Sales Agency together in our office in Long Beach. We run it with my daughter Lindsey. I work some and play as much golf as I can get away with. All of my children & step children have given me 12 grand kids so far. They are working on more.

I look forward to seeing everyone at the next reunion.
