An avid researcher of personal genealogy (working on several family lines including the surnames of Schouten, Swiney, Shields, Cordray, Morris, Bennett) and proud parent of two sons and grandparent of four (make that nine) grandchildren. Former teacher and school administrator. My wife's line is traced to Pocahontas and to Towne family of Salem witch trials fame.
