Margie and I live in Dumaguete City the Philippines.  We lived in Las Vegas Nevada from December of 2002 to November of 2004. Before Las Vegas we lived in Rohnert Park California. Rohnert Park is is where I consider home, it is located 50 miles north of the Golden Gate Bridge in the California Wine Country.  I have lived in Rohnert Park for most of the past 30 years. We will return there in September of 2008. When I came to Dumaguete for a year in 98/99  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. The lot feeds several goats right now. Dumaguete City is made up of many districts, about two thirds of which are agricultural.

  I worked as technician at Pacific Bell until 1996 when I retired. I spent several years (off and on) working at SPRINT PCS after leaving Pacific Bell/SBC Communications. I left SPRINT PCS due to Prostrate Cancer in 2003.

  Margie is from Dumaguete City on the Island of Negros in the Philippines. Margie worked as a manager at a department store (which is where I met her, right there in the pants department at Tops and Bottoms).

  Negros Oriental is located in the central Philippines, the part they call the Visayas (pronounced "Ba sigh ass"), they even speak their own dialect here which is Visayan. 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.

  During our last two years in the USA we stayed with my sister Shirley and her husband Frank in Las Vegas Nevada. 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.
