About Me

Dennis
Retired in Roseburg OR with my sweetheart, Karen. I'm a Viet Nam era enlisted veteran - proud to have served my country. Great grandson of homesteaders in Wyoming where I was born and raised and where old-West traditions, lifestyles and values live on. Was never comfortable in big cities and was happy to retire from Silicon Valley high tech. Now Karen is retired too and we're enjoying this chapter in our lives. Oldest son, Chris, is working in San Jose CA while attending college. Son Matt lives with his wife, Heather, in Coeur d'Alene Idaho. Matt's the Worship Director at His Place church in Post Falls Idaho and Heather is a social work professional. They all bless and enrich our lives.
