Local Club or Society Information:

Charlene and I are active members of the Marcus Whitman Gem & Mineral Soc. here in Walla Walla, the Hells Canyon Gem Club in Lewiston, ID and the Lakeside Gem & Mineral Club in Kenniwick. We both enjoy fieldtrips and the thrill of the hunt.

I am especially interested in working to get young families involved in the Clubs, our shows, programs and field trip site sharing. There is obviously a large amount of undocumented field trip data in most clubs that could be shared. We need to fully use our printed newsletter, website and meetings to get Federation information to and from members in a timely manner.

Rockhounding Interests:

I have gotten involved in faceting and sphere making during the last few years and collect minerals and fossils.

Personal Information:

My wife Charlene and I have three grown children & five grandchildren. I have degrees in Computer Science and Management. My career work was in Information Management for 36 years. In 1999 I retired from the Walla Walla District Corps of Engineers.
