Not much of a story to tell. I grew up in the Pigeon Hills of South Central Pa, which I guess explains my love of the woods. Worked as a supervisor for a paper mfg. co. for 33 years, was downsized to retirement, started a second career as supervisor for a packing co. and will be at it for a bit more.

I started my education in Greensprings School, second row from the left, third boy from the back
Popup LinkGreenspring School (BTW, the school had no running water or indoor bathrooms) I always had the latest hair stylePopup LinkHair

As most here know, Cindy is the center of my life Popup LinkCindy My favorite snack is her cookies  Popup LinkCookie A few fine kids, Chris the electrician is the guy in the cap on left, and Mandy in college standing next to him and their spouses Popup Linkkids A mother-in-law who I dearly love even though she is silly as a goose Popup LinkThe Momma (What the hell made her buy that umbrella hat?) Cindy's grandmother who is a real sweetheart Popup LinkCindy & Nana

The animals Popup LinkGargoyle Flapjack Popup LinkFlapjack PrunesPopup LinkPrunes 2

I do like to have fun, and I am a pretty handy guy around the housePopup LinkPaulamouse the Artist

But, I do clean up pretty good sometimes too Popup LinkPaul & Cindy

All in all, just a country kid.

    Nice to see more of your life, pics were nice ..loved the grade school shot...if you would have rolled around on a canvas when covered with paint you would have had a master piece.

  • Where did the most paint end--on you or the wall?-- This is interesting to learn different things about each of us. Just WHAT is in your ear in the hair style pic? Cookie looks good enough to eat--

  • great stuff--thanks for sharing! B, I think (and pray) that the spot on his ear is just dust or something from the original print. Don't think the ear-punching craze of kids these days was practiced so much back then.

  • The spot on the ear was somehing on the original print. If I had come home with an ear pierced my old man would have tapped me up-side the head to get me thinking straight.
