After Awalt I attended Foothill College for a couple
of quarters, then went on a two year mission for the
Mormon Church (Western States; Colorado, Wyoming,
Kansas and New Mexico). When I returned I again went
to Foothill and work in Palo Alto as a Jr Draftsman.
While a Foothill I made friends with a fellow who was
a former Menlo Park Police Officer and work as an
Officer at San Jose Airport. I went for a ride-along
with him and loved the work!! This turned me on to
Police Work. I work for 32 years for the City of Palo
Alto as a Public Safety Dispatcher and Chief
Dispatcher before I retiered in 2005. I also donated
time as a Reserve Police Officer for 10 years.
My wife and I have one daughter who is married, no
grandchildren yet. We now live in a small town in
Northwest Missouri, on a 40 acre farm.... Life in a
small town is very different, a much slower pace of
life!!
