(12/23/22) Hello Everyone!

Per the famous Google Site, AARP is "worldwide"...

(2) Tell us about your country and why you are living there.

Hope to hear from you!

Thanks,

My mother's family are a mixture of German, French and Polish and settled in Ripon, Wisconsin. They helped build the little white school house where the Republican Party was formed. It became the Party of Lincoln.

May dad's family immigrated from South Shields, England in 1912. They settled in Blair, Nebraska where my Grandfather started a ministry to the Native Americans and the European settlement in Blair, Nebraska.

My folks met in Ripon where my dad went to college. They both worked at the Speed Queen factory and married in 1933.

I lived in Ripon until I went off to college in 1962 and married in 1966. Mary and I graduated in 1967.
