Tucson, AZ
    In 2002 Vicki and I (our kids are now grown) were fortunate to be able to move further away from the city and we love our new home. The area behind our cul-de-sac opens up into a large undeveloped area (the county says it will stay that way, and of course we always believe our politicians). This provides us with numerous sightings of quail, jack rabbits, roadrunners, and coyotes. Once I even saw a bobcat, and some of the neighbors have seen javelina. In 2000, our company, Burr-Brown, was bought out by Texas Instruments, where I continue to work as an Electrical Engineer. I have fond memories of my days at Ladue High during what were definitely formative years.
