My Retirement Party 16 May 1992
from Consolidated Freightways

The first photo shows my grandson Nathaniel Finch at the refreshment table checking out the cake.

The second photo is of the certificate for twenty years of service. They gave me this with a twenty year of service ruby ring even though I was only there for eighteen years. I started to work for Consolidated Freightways in May of 1974 after working for twenty-three years in Loveland, Colorado at Johnson Litho.

The third photo is of me punching the time clock for the final time.

Dale's Camp out May 1993.

The four Dale brothers with their wives and our sister Mary Jane. No one drowned on this trip either, although it rained a lot.

To elaborate a little on that statement, Richard, Lloyd and I with our families were at this camp ground one other time. JoAnn, Richards wife went rafting along the bank of the river. She took Nathaniel, my daughter Paula Finch son, with her. While they were at the bank, JoAnn slipped and fell into the river while holding Nathaniel. They got out OK, but for a long time, Nathaniel would say to anyone that would listen, "JoAnn downed me."

Jess and Karen Dale flew in and we met them at the airport. John and Rosie drove in from MT.

This image of myself was drawn by a Mr. Weaver while I was recuperating from heart bypass surgery 16 March 1995.  This man was good at his artistic abilities. The next image is of himself and his doctor that he made from memory and gave it to me.
If this procedure was available in 1959 for my father he would have been alive for as long as my mom most likely. This is a generic disease that both my father and I have, it is called hardening of the arteries.
I appear then as I do now.

The x-ray of my heart shows the blockage of the arteries on the exterior of the heart where I received a total of four bypasses, they are outlined by a circle.
