Suzan and I have a blended family of three young adults. Robin born 1983, Holley born 1984 and Nick More…born 1986. Robin is an artist/photographer living in the Portland. Holley is a business graduate of WSU. She worked for the family company a while but now manages a funeral home and event center in Richland. She is married and has two teenagers. . Nick started a Powder Coating company 3 years ago in Pasco. He also is the father of 2 of my grandsons and 2 granddaughters that I dearly love.
Brief Bio:

I can always tell how long someone has know me if they call me Dick, I know I have known them for a long time. I like it but having to sign so much paperwork as Richard, I just started going by Richard. After graduation, I worked with my father for a while on the family farm. I married in 1972. I just wasn't that happy being a farmer. I had learned to fly while in high school and loved it. I thought I could be a bush pilot or mission pilot but my eyes were not good enough for a commercial Pilots license so I worked as an aircraft mechanic. In 1983 I started my own company (Bogert Aviation). Bogert Aviation started manufacturing aircraft parts and special tools for aviation. I divorced in 1996. I married Suzan in 1998. We have been having a pretty good time.
We have gone on to design and build products for the Army, USMC, the USAF, NASA, SPACEX and Rivian. Today we manufacture commercial jack and lifting equipment as "SAFE JACK. I also design marine products under the dba of Uncle Norm's Marine Products

I became a ham radio operator about 6 years ago. I am involved in the the ham radio community. I like boating and fishing. I like shooting and archery (It's a good thing I do it for fun because I'm not very good at either anymore.) .
Sue and I have a Cabin at Twin Lakes on the Colville Indian Reservation that we use a lot during the Summer. We bought a home in Surprise, AZ a couple of years ago for the winter. It was a big change for me. I'm still working but doing it remotely to see how that works. I am taking some interesting clases, writing my memoirs and a fiction novel.

Suzan, I didn't want to wait to the last minute to wish you a happy birthday. I know we are all getting up there and in my case, parts of me don't work like I remember. I hope life is good for you and that you are happy. That is the best gift of all.

Dale, Happy Birthday ! So how come you get to be 49, year after year, after year, after year? Really, how long can you keep that up. I hope that you are well. Even at 49 things can happen to us that slow us down. Seriously, I hope you are treated very specially today.

Thought I should wish you a Happy Birthday before I forget to. Ha Ha. I hope you are going to have a wonderful day. I had mine a few days ago and it was fun. My wife and I bought a second home in Surprise, AZ a couple of years ago. We have talked about running up to Las Vegas for a day or two to take in a show.

Maria, How is the "Best Dancer" doing! It is hard for me to imagine how long it has been since we were classmates. Now my Grandkids are graduating. It has been quite a ride. I hope someone is especially good to you on your birthday. Happy Birthday Maria!!

Nancy, I was sorried that I was late and now I see I am actually early for a change to wish you a happy birthday. I hope you and Bob are doing well. I haven't seen the two of you in forever. Regardless, I have fond memmories of you. You were a real nut and lots of fun. Remember when you helped get me made up to be a cheer leader for the Jr. Sr basketball game?
