Has been in business for himself (that I know of) since 1952. Married twice, nice home and in 1967 owned a restaurant at [guess: Richland] Washington. Always drives a Cadillac and Bowls in the money every year. Like everyone he seemed to always be short a few thousand dollars every so often. He has always enjoyed a good life style. Raised (Boxer dogs) one time, for Sale.

He has relatives living around Portland Ore. Hoping this helps [signature] 84333-132
