Sue and I met at Rockwell in the early 1970s, but we were both married. We got together again in 1985 during Rockwell’s Space Station proposal activity, and we married in March 1988.
We retired in March 2007 after 75 years with the Boeing Company. Retirement is the point at which a person stops working completely. While most people worry about “adjusting to retired life,” we fell into it immediately. The next day would be a proper day!
We are so busy these days that I am often tickled by the thought of going back to work to rest (not!). Part of retirement is working on our website, which is a collection of humor and observations about retirement (aka being old). Please enjoy!
The Lord took my precious Sue in February of 2020, and I was devastated having lost my sidekick of 35 years!
Sue & Paul Enjoy Afternoon Tea At The Huntington Library
Sue told me in no uncertain terms that should something happen, either of us should move on with the support of our families.
In July 2020, I asked a mutual friend out to dinner. Dr. Mary Côté, Sue, and I have known each other for almost a quarter of a century. The dinner was just a simple “Hey, how’s it going?” but over a year, it blossomed into a full-scale romance. On the one-year anniversary of our first date, we got married at the same restaurant with a small group of friends and family. Join the fun!
Happily married 7/28/2021
We are so happy that the Good Lord sent us in each other’s direction. We decided to she the past and move into a new home in Orange and after a few years, Mary transformed the house into our own love nest!
We have been married for about three years now.

Was looking at history of retailers and came across your site. I worked at Ralph’s 5 & 10 for a few years in the 70’s, the Van Nuys location. You’ve got a great site – reminds me of how things were. We had old Ben and Malcolm as the managers – wow, what memories. All the best. Nick
