Residence: Linda and I live in the little town of Redstone, Colorado (Population under 100) You can check out the area at redstonecolorado.com We are 48 miles from Aspen, and in the heart of the Crystal River Valley. Redstone is surrounded by 13,000 foot peaks and huge red cliffs.

What I am doing now:

I retired from the Lockheed Martin in January 2004 after over 40 years in the aerospace industry. We built a new home on a small lot at the base of a 700-foot cliff one mile outside of town. Elk, Deer, Bear, and Fox feed in our front yard and Mountain Lions have been seen in our area. I have volunteered the last six years helping sponsor Sled Dog Races held here in Redstone. It is a two-day event in late January or early February. So far I have climbed 10 of the 14,000-foot peaks here in Colorado (I only have 44 more to do). I have hiked from Aspen to Crested Butte twice and many of the other trails in our area. I ski at the local ski areas, which include Aspen Mountain, Aspen Highlands, Buttermilk, Snowmass, Copper Mountain, and Sunlight. We have a Jeep Rubicon that we take 4 wheeled driving into some really hard places to get to here in Colorado (hardest being Scolfield Pass). I am a member of the Redstone Art Foundation, and continue doing Etchings on Copper Plates of subjects here in the Crystal River Valley.

Family Our family consists of two children from Linda's previous marriage and two of our own. My stepson Paul and his two daughters live in Normal Ill., my stepdaughter Kathryn and her family (two daughters and one son) live near us in Glenwood Springs Colorado. Our son Jim and his wife Jen live in Ft. Worth Tx. Both are employed at Lockheed Martin working on the Joint Strike Fighter (F-35 Airplane). Chrissy, our daughter and her family (two daughters) live in Littleton Co. That is a total of 7 grand children which is a real house full when they all visit at one time.
