Age: 62
Occupation: Business manager.
Hobbies: Reading, ceramics.
Bee reader since: 1990.
How many letters: 13 since 2002.
Favorite topics: I don't know that I have a favorite topic. I have a lot of concerns such as water shortage, environment, street gangs, the never-ending creation of laws and restrictions on law-abiding, tax-paying citizens, to name a few.
Why do you write? To express my opinion and annoy my wife.
Education: Associate of science in business administration and associate in art from Fresno City College; a number of military academies and schools over my 25 years of active duty in the U.S. Army.
Family: Roswitha, wife of 40-plus years; one son; two grandchildren.
Political philosophy: The country has held together despite self-serving politicians. I don't believe in voting along party lines. If representatives voted for what the country and people need, not necessarily what we want, we would not need term limits.
