Grandview Washington is my home town. My Mom & Dad owned a drug store there that was where my sis & I spent the majority of our time. This was one an old fashioned drug store not anaything loke you'd walk into today.; It had a soda fountain where you could order anything from a lime phosphate to a chocolate malt,l my dad prepared his own tinctures, there was distilled water that was continually being processed & bottled & any percsription that you'd buy was made by my Dad. The pharmacy was located at the corner of Division & Main - it does not get any more downtown than that.
I graduated from high school in 1962, joined the Marine Corps for a 3 year enlistment. I served in san Diego for a year & then 2 years in Japan.
When I was discharged, I entered the University of Washington & graduated with a degree in International Business & a minor in japanese language studies. My wife Lylene & I were married in our Sophmore year at the University & just celebrated our 41st wedding anniversary.
We have had many lives wearing many different hats to include Corporate Manager, Middle School Teacher, Grocer, Baker, Contractor & finally for the last 20 years Realtor.
We have 2 wonderful sons. The youngest, Graham, has worked with us in our real estate business for the past 5 years & our oldest son, Chandler is soon to granduate from Stanford University with a PhD.
Lylene & I enjoy boating, hiking, reading - she particularly enjoys gardening while I try to find excuses to avoid it - sometimes with success sometimes not.
My youngest son & I are currently in the process of restoring a 1969 Firebird convertable that Lylene I bought. In fact we ordered it from the factory in the winter on 1969. It's currently torn completely apart & the body & frame taken to the sandblaster. Anyone out there who has experience in restoration of Firebirds? We'd love to talk to you.
