I worked at Wyoming County Dept of Social Services for 36 years, as a caseworker. Married the late Janet Cardot of Forestville, NY in 1967, and we resided in Warsaw, NY for about 35 years. Remarried in 2005, to Carol Smith Yocum, then and still of Clarence, NY. She graduated from H.S. at a suburban Rochester, NY school. I was often on church boards, and occasionally a Little League coach and in church choir.
Hobbies have been, or are: stamp collecting, reading, electric trains, astronomy, and running. The latter hobby probably contributed to my needing 2 hip replacements in the last 6 years. In 1986 I took a 5th grade class, including my daughter, up the highest nearby hill to view Halley's Comet, though viewing conditions were a bit disappointing. Volunteer experience the last 2 years has been as tour guide in downtown Buffalo and Erie County. Specialty is helping preserve l00+-year-old churches, many of which are no longer commissioned as churches, and some of are threatened with demolition. One group I belong to, has just set up a religious arts museum in a vacated church, the former St. Francis Xavier church at corner of East and Amherst Streets in Buffalo.
