Barbara and I have been married 42 years. We have three children and six grandchildren. I retired from my Tucson pediatric practice in 2000 but still maintain interest and activity in pediatric care by making annual medical mission trips to Mexico and Africa. Bringing up healthy families continues to be important to Barbara and me. We together teach a Parenting Class each year. Barbara teaches a Moms Class at First Evangelical Free Church, speaks at women's retreats nationally, and co-hosts a radio show "Woman to Woman." We are on Navigator Associate Staff. I continue my life-long interest in music by singing in the Collegium Musicum, a choral group at the U. of A. specializing in early music, and I sing in my church choir. I am principal bassist in the Foothills Philharmonic Orchestra. (2010)
We now have 8 grandchildren and may have a ninth soon if fostering turns into adoption successfully. (Last Updated: Sept 2015) |
