Dated February 23, 2016:

It's been a "helluvaride" so far. Would prefer to not have it stop for awhile.

We now have eight grandchildren, and they are all great.

Our youngest daughter, Lori, and her family moved to Denver, CO last June, so no grandkids or kids living in MN as of now. Marc is almost 21 and going to ASU in Tempe, AZ on a Merit Scholarship. His major is urban planning. Alec is 17 and a junior in HS.

Jody lives with her family in Madison, WI, She's a veterinarian specializing in Eastern Holistic Vet. Med. as well as Western Medicine. Her website is www.anshenvet.com. Her two daughters, Raina and Keelee, are 20 and 17, with Raina in college in Portland, OR.

Audra and her family live in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. They've been there for almost 10 years. Claire, who is 8 years old and Ellory who is 5 were born there.

Ethan now lives Beverly Hills, CA with his wife, Amy, son, Levi (8), and daughter, Shiloh who is 4 years old.

On June 19, 1964, I married Judith Natalie Rothman, the daughter of a career Army officer. Judie was and is a special person, and the mom of our children. We were too young, but in love, so we gave it a try for 24 years. We did grow apart and separated in 1988 and divorced in 1989.

Without even looking, in 1992, I found my "soul-mate". It took some time, but in October of 1994, I "popped the question" and Sue Ellen Nauss and I were married in Reno, NV, on December 6, 1994.

I never knew how great a relationship could be. The past 21+ years have been remarkable. We've had our ups and downs -- but certainly many more ups than downs.

At the present time, Sue is a financial adviser and a Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor. Her practice is in Edina, MN and is associated with Ameriprise Financial. Sue's an outstanding adviser and her specialty is working with women and women business professionals. Her clients adore her for her honesty and integrity.

Because of Sue's influence, after retiring from the Food Brokerage Business in 1998 (after 35 years), I got my insurance license. I specialize in health, disability, life and long-term care insurance -- plus annuities. The business is very personal and very rewarding being able to help so many with their financial needs.

Everyone in the family is healthy and happy.
