I have always loved, and always been identified with, airplanes. Since early childhood, I knew that I would someday fly. I realized that ambition on my 16th birthday, March 11, 1967 when I flew solo in a small 2 seat Cessna 150 for the first time. since then I have flown over 22,350 hours in everything from Piper Cubs to Boeing B-777s. My current assignment as a captain for United Airlines takes me to London, Tokyo, Frankfurt and Bangkok. I also do one domestic trip to Washington D.C.
Flying for United Airlines has been a priviledge for me and I will enjoy doing it for the 7 1/2 years I have left.
Flying, however, is not my whole life. My wife of 34 years, Peggy is my greatest gift. We have four wonderful kids, Jason, Shannon, David and Daniel. Their spouses Stephanie, Nate, Garrettson and (soon) Danielle are also blessings in our lives. In addition, Nate and Shannon have a beautiful daughter Makayla, (5) and David and Garrettson have Thomas (8), Chase (2) and Hayden (4 Mos). I'll see if I can get some photos up for you on the next page..
Below is a picture of my Cessna 185. I love this airplane. It has taken me to Alaska and back and we have had many wonderful trips to the Idaho backcountry in it.
As Daniel was preparing for his LDS mission to Peru, I promised to write a book for him. My intent was to show him that every single word in the Book of Mormon was valuable. To that end I picked what for most is the least interesting part in the book. I chose to write a book about the Isaiah scriptures in the Book of Mormon and also the other biblical passages - Malachi and Matthew. what resulted was a fascinating book about not only what the biblical scriptures say but perhaps more interestingly, why the Book of Mormon writers felt the need to include, in their sacred records, words that were readily available in the Bible. I have included a chapter for you to read on this site. Tell me what you think..
