sweetheart, Marise, in 1964. She has supported my car addiction through eight Porsches, so we are still together after 56 years. Our two children and four grandchildren all live in Colorado. We go out there so frequently, that I think our Yellow Cab could get there by itself, if I ever find the Autopilot button.

None. I am retired. After getting
a Mechanical Engineering degree from Yale, I returned to Kansas City and worked in the finance area of Hallmark Cards for 36 years. Decided to quit Hallmark early
