After graduation, I needed a break from school, so I eagerly joined
the Navy to see the world at the age of 17. After three years in the
Navy I returned to get a degree in Economics from the University
of Arizona. By the early 70's I had purchased the Village
Blacksmith shop in Tucson. Along the way, I married and had a
son and a daughter who now live in Oregon and California
respectfully.
By 1980, I was "ready for a girlfriend". Little did Jim Klein know that
when he told me about the 20 year reunion, that I would become
re-acquainted with an old classmate (Emily Kittle), and look back
on that evening at the Wild Horse Ranch as a turning point in my
life. Emily and I were married in 1982.
In 1985, we bought a structural steel company (around the corner
from the Blacksmith shop). Since the last update (2000), I can
happily say the honeymoon continues. Emily and I have had a
wonderful life together (married nearly 28 years now!), and stay in
touch with many class of '60 classmates. My business has grown
and is now known as Morrison Barker Steel Construction. Having
taken on a younger partner, one day soon I'll retire and we'll get
to do more traveling.
