Once again back doing what I love! Started out in high school as the yearbook photographer, went into Navy-they made me an Aviation Electrician's Mate (not photographer's mate), returned home to put myself through college as a Deputy, 2 years in Patrol I landed in Criminal Indentification (now CSI) which led to a case involving a congressman - then an appointment as a U.S. Capitol Police Officer (after 2 years he was defeated) then was appointed as a Doorman to the U.S. Senate (Press Door). There I met Oki Okomoto (LBJ's White House photog) which led me to meet men like Monte Zucker, Morty Appel, Joe Zeltsman and back to Vegas to 2 studios of my own. 7 kids later I went into Real Estate, last one just obtained his degree (all 7 did).

I also was the High School yearbook photographer. A few years ago I took the attached photo of those who attended the 50th class reunion. I'm dressed in the Tux knelling in the front row. The Redhead with her hand on my shoulder was the yearbook artist. I asked her to marry me that night in front of the class of 1959, the day I took this group picture. We were both widowed and had re-met at a prior class reunion. We are now married and both very happy.
