Family consists of my beautiful wife of 40 years and we have two married children, boy and girl.  Four grandsons, one granddaughter.  
My hobbies are hunting and fishing.   Did not start hunting till I was 18, Mother would not let me have a gun until I pointed out to her I had to register for the Draft.  Her Father hunted but my Father and his Father did not.  We did a lot of fishing with worms from creek banks growing up as that's what my Father enjoyed which I still do.  After I got my first gun with Mother saying yes, it was her Father's single shot Stevens 12 GA.  I spend one whole Saturday in my grandparent's woods trying to get small game.  Finally as the sun was going down decided I was going to at least shoot at a tree.  Had wanted the first shot to get game.  The gun would not work, the firing pin was rusted.  I was still hooked on hunting!!!  Got lots of small game and birds with that old shotgun.  Got my first deer at the age of 28 and been hooked every since on deer hunting.
