Tracy Crocker

Married in 1967, divorced in 1981 and remarried in 1983 to Joyce. We live in Plymouth, MN, a suburb of Minneapolis. We moved here in 1996 after living in Hawaii for 14 years. Before that we lived in San Francisco for three years, and St. Louis for three years. Prior to that,I lived in Pittsburg for three years, two years in Toledo and seven years in Syracuse....whew. You might say home is where we live at the time.

I attended SUNY Cortland for one year (my lost year) and then went to Mohawk Valley Community College where I got a degree in Retail Business Management. I took my first job in Syracuse in '67 for E.W.Edwards, where I moved up the ladder to become a buyer. I was then recruited by a specialty store in Toledo as a buyer, and then Kauffman's in Pittsburg, where I became a Divisional. Then a prior boss recruited me to Stix, Bare and Fuller in St. Louis, and then I took a Divisional position for Liberty House in San Francisco. Liberty House transferred me to Hawaii in 1983, where I was promoted to Vice President and General Merchandise Manager. My retail career has taken me all over the world to Europe where I attended the apparel markets and most of the run way shows in Paris, Milano, Florence, London, along with other various cities of Europe. I traveled extensively in Asia, major cities of the US and was one week out of every month in NYC. I was putting in almost 250 thousand miles a year...In 1996, I said enough and we moved to Minnesota where we could be closer to family, and I did executive search for five years working with major corporations.

I am now retired and really enjoying the fruits of my life after all those years at 36,000 feet. Retail was a wonderful experience, and I met and worked with many wonderful, interesting individuals.

What do I do with my future? Simple...enjoy time with my wife, children, and grandchildren while pursuing my hobbies. Genealogy has become one of my passions, and I help people all over the country in finding their roots. I maintain eight websites for eight organizations and build data bases for several of these groups. From March to November, I play golf almost every day (the PGA will never see me). Joyce and I are great sports fans and have season tickets to the Vikings and the Timerwolves!
