I am born and raised in Granite City Illinois, except for three months in 1957 when our family of five moved to El Cajon (El-Ka-Hone) California. We did move
to stay but Mom & Dad got home sick, so as the old son goes, California Here We Home, it was "California, Here We Go". I have been associated
with carpentry work since 1959 when I served my first two years of Carpentry Apprenticeship at night while still in High School. Married Jeanette (Nettie) in
1963, have two children, Jeff & Angie, three grand children Kenny, Becky & Hannah and two step grand children, Erica & Jimmy Guethues. Looking
forward to retiring in December of 2008
