Comments:
The years have gone quickly! I’m married w/ 4 children. Have been ward choir director for 10 out of 12 years. Taught 12-14 yr olds in Sun School for 3 yrs. Taught Priesthood for 4 years.

Finished school at Utah State in 91. I've been working in corp training in So Cal ever since – last 10 with an industrial automation software company – love it.

Started a doc prog in Ed Tech at San Diego State Univ and Univ of San Diego in 04. As of May 08, I’m done with classes and working on dissertation: Helping students with Asperger’s Syndrome – what educators and parents can do to help them succeed in school and life.

First opportunity to go back to Thailand Jan 06! – Study abroad for 2 wks and 9 days on my own. Luckily, I connected with people who still remembered me. It was well worth a 20 yr wait. I’d do it again in a heartbeat! I’m scheming to get my family over there. I was able to attend church in Pakgret, Asoke, and Udorn; dinner w/ Sis Champ in Mahasarakham (Elders’ maid for 20 years), reconnect with Tam and Nang in Udorn and enjoy the after church lunch gathering, hear the different angles of my friend Samai’s passing and the havoc the survivors of the accident have endured; heard about Taime Owen’s last yrs and his family’s story; lunch twice with Bishop Achd; lunch twice w/ Niramon (Nonthaburi maid for about 15 yrs) and brought home her famous cashew brownie cake and mangoes. Sooo much to tell –so little time! The current missionaries have phenomenal lang skills – and they all read and write! The bar has been raised.

None of my companions are this site. My comps were: Derek Evans, Brad Littlefield, Steve Johnson, Ken Meyerhoffer, Rob Daly, Dave Krout, and Jim Godfrey. Rob Daly has been back twice and was scheduled to spend 6 months in Chiang Mai in 06.

I'd post a picture, but I've changed so much none of you would recognize me.
