Margie and I moved to Nampa Idaho at the end of October 2009. Since we met we had lived in Rohnert Park California ( 2 different apartments 4 years),  Las Vegas (2 years), and Dumaguete City in the Philippines (3  different places covering 5 1/2 Years).  I originally moved to Dumaguete City in March of 1998. That is where I met and married Margie.

 At some future date we would like to build a house on a lot we own near Margie's Mom's house in Dumaguete City. The lot feeds several goats and a Water Buffalo right now. Dumaguete City is a rural city and made up of many districts, about two thirds of which are agricultural.

  I worked as technician at Pacific Bell/SBC/AT&T until 1996 when I retired. I spent several years (off and on) working at SPRINT PCS after leaving The Phone Company. I left SPRINT PCS due to Prostrate Cancer and many other complications in June of 2002.

  Margie is from Dumaguete City which is on the Island of Negros in the Philippines. When I met Margie she was working as the manager of the pants department (where I was introduced to her) of a department store named Tops and Bottoms.

 Margie's province, Negros Oriental is located in the central Philippines, the part they call the Visayas (pronounced "Ba sigh ass"), they even speak their own dialect there, Visayan/Cebuano. Margie also worked as a technician at Agilent Technologies and at the Payless Shoe Source in Rohnert Park after Agilent Technologies moved all of their work offshore. Margie is still working for Payless here in Nampa.

  During our two years in Las Vegas we lived with my sister Shirley and her husband Frank. They must be angels to have put up with us for 2 years. Thanks be to God for their help. Shirley and Frank  have since moved to Sequim Washington.
