Marital Status / Partner's Name / Children: Married to Sherry (Tuttle), who also went to Clear Lake, in the late 70's instead of the late 60's. I have 3 children, Bobbie Jo, who lives in Nevada, IA. Ben, who is 19, is starting basic training for the Air Force on 4/29/08. John is 14 and a freshman at Southeast Polk High School.

Working / Retired? Activities you enjoy: I suffered 5 strokes in 1999 and that pretty much put an end to my working. I am paralyzed on the right side and suffer from aphasia. I can read, but I have trouble writing so Sherry is writing this for me. I can read emails etc that are sent to me, but I need assistance in replying. I enjoy watching the Twins and Vikings and I play fantasy baseball and football. I have spent many days watching the boys participate in their various activities. I love to travel and plan to do much of that when John is through with high school. I recently went on a road trip to Seattle with Ben. Quite the experience, going that far in a minivan with a 19 yr old :o)

Favorite song from the 60's for background music: Joe loves his music, and loves all the songs from the 60's. Unchained Melody is one of his favorites.
