2005 Newsletter
I retired in 1993 (at 52 years of age) after being a college professor of Chinese history for 26 years. We are bi-coastal, six months on a small island off the coast of R.I. (Block Island – one of the Nature Conservancy’s last 10 great places 0 one of the great garden spots on this earth and six months in S.F. (Nov. – March). We’ve been on Block Island for nearly 35 years. I take groups of friends all over the world for travel. We went to N.Z. in February and are going to Russia and Eastern Europe in May/June. Our older daughter, Bronwyn, is a Senior VP at B. of America headquarters in Charlotte; second daughter, Erin, is writing scripts/ producing Hollywood movies from the N. Shore of Oahu, where she is a dedicated surfer.

Linda and I celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary last summer. We enjoy good health and are constantly busy. I get back to Kansas about once a year to manage family properties, but everyone except my younger brother has passed. I’ll try to make the 50th a priority.

50th Reunion
I have been married to Bill Simpson for 26 years. We have a combined family — my two sons and his daughter. I’ve lived in Arizona since 1969.
space
My career consisted of 25 years in home-building and 10 years as owner of Eclectic Interior Design.
We took up golf 15 years ago and have since been seriously addicted (not GOOD, still hackers).
space
Future plans, since we are now both retired, is to do what we want, when we want. Our travels have changed from searching for perfect islands to long cross-country road trips, nothing scheduled, just drive, golf, and drive.
Janice Deatherage Stumpfhauser and I talk a couple times a year (I live vicariously through her grandchildren).
space
Hopefully we will be able to get together soon.

50th Reunion
I moved to Dallas in 1977 and worked as an accountant until I retired in 2000. A year later I started a new and fun career as the personal assistant to a multi-millionaire. I retired from that in 2006. A friend talked me into helping him out in his oil and gas business, so back to work I went.
space
I started breeding and showing dogs about 25 years ago. Since then I have produced several champions and traveled all over the United States, Ireland, and Scotland to dog shows. I am no longer actively breeding, but I am still an officer of two kennel clubs. In October, four friends and I will be traveling to Slovakia to the World Dog Show.
