Two Great Sayings That Guide Me:

    1.    Forever Young!

    2.    I'd Rather Burn Out Than Rust Out!

My Interests:

  • My Kids - My son, Craig Barton, my daughter Kathy Hansen and her husband Ivor, their daughters Kelly, Megan and Ivy.  I'm blessed!

                                       

  • Organizations - Some of the clubs and groups to which I currently belong follow.  All are "dues paying" organizations (I realized that if you pay dues to them, then they must really reflect who you are and what you're interested in).

  • Skiing - I've skied Alyeska, Schweitzer, Bachelor, Mammoth, Breckenridge, Park City, Deer Valley, Alta, Snow Basin, Sun Valley, Bristol Mountain, Jackson, Taos, Sugar Bowl, Grand Targhee, Silver Mountain
  • Traveling - Warm places, snowy places, rural places, metropolitan places, exotic places, sophisticated places.  The northern most point in the USA (Pt. Barrow AK) and the southernmost (Key West FL).  The edge of the Grand Canyon and the top of the Empire State Building.  The deserts of Baja California, the Little Bighorn Battlefield, the Great Lakes, the Thousand Lakes Region of New York, Oregon forests and Florida swamps, Texas ranches and Montana fly fishing.  I love to travel!
  • Music - Classical, Blues, Pop, Rock, Folk - small venues, outdoor concerts, stadiums - I dig it all.

  • Genealogy - I got hooked a dozen years ago on this hobby.  It's absolutely addicting.  See my Genealogy page at http://www.tribalpages.com.  For access you'll need to use User ID: gary2560 and Password: garysgenes
  • RootsWeb - A good starting point to track down your ancestors

  • Dead Fred - Archive site for old photographs (portraits, snapshots, groups)

  • Find A Grave - Photos of gravestones and cemetery markers

  • World Families - Wonderful site about DNA and genetic genealogy

  • Website Design and Development - I started in 1996 with one of the free hosting sites and have evolved to the present.  By no means am I an adroit HTML programmer; I get by with MS FrontPage.  Here's some helpful sites which might aid you:
