Now the hard one. Tell us what we need to know...50 years in the space below:

The past 50 years have been very good - Alan and I married while still in College and had an excellent life - we raised two wonderful children.  Our son Craig is a Professor of Political Science at the University of Houston and is married to Colleen - my wonderful daughter-in-law.  Colleen is a managing editor of the Petro Chemicals division of McGraw Hill in Houston . TX.  They have my 2nd grandson Alexander who just turned 2.  Our daughter Allison is the mother of my oldest grandson Darren - she is a single mother having divorced many years ago.  She works in the Gilbert School System here in Arizona and she and Darren live with me.  Darren is my travel buddy - so far we have been to Alaska, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, along with San Francisco, Seattle, Boston, Philadelphia, and most Caribbean islands.  This past summer we visited 8 ballparks in 9 days on a Baseball trip - had a great time. Alan and I, while we are divorced, remain great friends - I guess I am very lucky.

Finally, if you had to do it all over again, I would...

Not change anything - I have had a fabulous life - I am thankful for everything that I have been able to accomplish.
