My parents, siblings and I grew up in Fresno.

Mom and Dad bought our family house for about $11,000 in 1955–a half year before I was born. Dad said he never wanted to move again. And this is still our family home.

After 4 years of marriage, Eileen gave me a beautiful son to go along with my wonderful daughter. Both have been a joy to our lives as children are.

Eileen suggested naming him David after my brother who we lost a few years before.
