Wow, I will be 33 on August 29!  Someone my own age group! Me
Brown hair, Hazel eyes, great smile!  I bicycle, sail, canoe
hike, and camp.  However this summer I have been busy and now 
working out.  I am in shape, but not ready for the Bears tryouts
just yet  :)

Me, small family of four.  Born in Germany (dad in US Army) 
and raised in Michigan.  At 13 moved to New York until 1985
then back to good old midwest people and values! I have wanted
be a parent since I was 25....but....nothing worked out.  I
have no children  :(   but that's better than being an absent
father.  I can't wait to be a family, not just a college student.
Oh yes, another match, 33 and still an undergrad!

I had a 3.13 las spring  :)  but wanted 3.33  oh well.  I work for the school

I am also a Catholic, abet a wayward one.  I would like to return
to church someday....    I agree with you about respect about other
religions and beliefs.

I love carrage rides.  I lived near the Philly, Balto., DC
area for a year and loved carrege rides in DC for the spring
cherry blossoms.  Carrage rides in Philly near the Liberty Bell,
and roses, a bottle of wine, and a SO.  Oh I miss the days...
Me Romantic?? What me??? YOU BET!!!  Flowers, wine, carrages,
fireplaces.......  ONE MORE year at school!  Unless I get my masters
urgg..ack..ouch.  I would love someone with a tech education.  I am
starting second business, a Quality Control Consulting business,, that
is based here in the midwest.  Himmm...thinking...Chicago....  Someone
who not only understands the business but could also be a part of it,
ONLY IF SHE wanted to be a part of it.  After all everyone needs their 
own space.
WOW!!!
Comittment, you bet. 
Long country rides in my convertable, anyone?

Me too, except I would call myself driven/easy going.  When I have goals
I set out to reach them.  But I have been known to veg-out for a day
to relax both body and mind.  VERY loyal.

Fields Musieum anyone?  I haven't been there in 5 years.  I own a 
full Campy. Cannondale and ride 2-3 times a week.  Dancing...well...
I try, however a long slow romantic dance...    Camping with my
SO, yes.  I also enjoy sailing.  I have my own 16 Hobie Cat sailboat
and race/sail in my free time.  Would BOTH you AND your son like
to learn to sail?

I spent last night watching a beautifull RED sunset alone.  Then 
I watched a great thunderstorm roll in of the plains!  WOW!

Smoke...ack...yech...  I have never smoked.  A bottle of wine
and a fireplace beat bar hopping, clubbing anyday.

I am looking for a woman (not girl) with the same values as myself.  I would
like to be a husband AND father soon.  I am reaching the age to put
down roots and start that family life.  While I may own some more
material possesions than you, I acquired them because I was not raising
a son.   Therefore you own something I may never have.  You have something
special that you should be proud of.  A son.  Putting yourself through school
and raising a son...wow...Carole
You sound like one Hell (sorry bad word  :) of a person.  It sounds 
like a friend
who knows me, wrote your letter to me, as it fits my values closely.

My brother lives in La Porte, Indiana.  I travel there once a month when I
have time.  Only 3 1/2 hours.....>

Thanks Marli,

        Your sister sounds like the catch of the year.  I only hope she can
find someone who can truly appreciate the woman she is.  If I interest her
please have her call, I am more articulate in person.  Sorry for any spelling,
but ISCS ordained NO SPELL CHECKER for us  :(

Yours truly,
Greg

ps.  If you want you can ask our secetary about me.  She is 45 with three of her
own.  She knows me pretty good if you desire a second opinion.  Her name is
Karen, but let me know if you are going to do this.  Lets not shock her
with such a personal call out of the blue  :)
