Drawing by "Poncho" 1985 at KFBK Radio while contracting as talk show producer

I have decided to retire from my 50 years of Emergency Service volunteer work and become involved in my Scottish heritage and devote more time to my family, friends, and genealogy.

I still teach first aid and CPR to EMS , Hospital employees, and service groups.

Some of my hobbies are or have been the following: Camping, hiking, sailing, wood carving, dancing, ham radio, genealogy, computers and going out with the Airstream RV Club.

I am currently President of the Airstream Club International Ameteur Radio Club


Laguna Seca, CA. Near Monterey, CA (2012)
