Diane and I were married on June 7th, 1977, in Bushnell Illinois.

We met when she was in the 3rd grade, and I was a junior at BPC High School.
She approached me and told me she wanted to marry me.
Ten years later we met again in the Bushnell VFW park, and the rest is family history.
After we wed, during the day I repaired mobile homes and on the weekend we played in churches,
coffee houses and on the streets with "The Living Water Band", a christian "country rock" band inspired
by the Talbot brothers and Mason Proffit..


Leisure Prom 1977
This is the very first PROM that 
my lovely wife of 27 years and I attended together.  It was Diane's high school Prom, 
in 1977.  And the theme was, you guessed it; 
"Stairway to Heaven"

This lovely photo will be appearing a new coffee table book. to be released in March of 05 on Great Proms of the 70s by Elissa Stien.

But soon realizing (after 14 years) that everything underneath a mobile home either; pokes, scratches or bites,
we decided to move to Rock Island Illinois (part of the QCA) in 1984 so I could I attend
Hamilton Technical School and receive a electronics degree.

A photo of most of the family, take April 2004 in our ravine in Moline.

Diane and I are VERY PROUD of all our children!


 

Diane was employed as a secretary at Montgomery Elevator Company, Escalator Division during this time.
Di and I still continued to play in coffee houses and churches as time allowed.

It only took 20 years to get me out of 
my blue leisure suit!
 Word of Life Prom 1997

 
 
Our first child was born while we lived in Bushnell in 1980, and he is graduated from Moline High
I also have two married children, Michelle Powell and Eric Borders , who still live in Bushnell
with my four grandsons,  and the prettiest grand daughters in the world..

 
 
 
 
 
 

Following my graduation we moved to North Richland Hills Texas where I worked at
Tandy Computer System Design in downtown Fort Worth.
 

We attended Metroplex Chapel in Euless (which we miss very much) and I played on
the Worship Team and we had a Bible study cell group meeting in our home.
Conza was born at a mid-wife clinic in Grand Prairie in 1985, so Conza is a native Texan.

We moved to Moline Illinois in 1987 and I went to work for Montgomery Elevator company now KONE Inc.
Somewhere between leaving Texas and moving to the QCA Bekah was born.

In the fall of 2001, KONE decided to dump their R&D engineering staff, and we were
tosses "out on our ears". I became a contract engineer. I have since worked at Case New Holland on the new Global Harvesting AFX project, and at KONE Service Center. I am now employed by BT Prime Movers in Muscatine in the electrical Engineering department.

We attend Word Of Life Christian Center in Rock Island and our Pastor is Steve Stephens.

Diane is on Staff and is the Youth Director for the  BIG HOUSE , and I work with the Bighouse
"Worship team". We have worked with youth since 1978, and we feel it is am important part of our life.
