I never worked for the WP&Y
As far as I know we plan to stay in AZ. We have a nice home here.
My first wife, Carmen, had the kidney transplant. She passed away from the long term effects of Type I Diabetes in 2007. My second marriage lasted only a couple of years. I've found a keeper in wife #3.
I have no kids of my own, but my wife has 3 sons. One of which has two children. They live in the area and we see them regularly.
