Steve Martin with his daughters Samantha (14) and Danielle (9), at home in Park City, UT

Hi Everyone,



Here's my story: Shortly after our high school graduation I left Mequon and never returned.
I spent six years in the Air Force, and had hardship tours in Greece, Hawaii, and Myrtle Beach.
I was a Pararescueman (PJ) for my last two years, which was really fun and adventurous. I nervously
separated from the Air force and I earned a B.A. from Southern Illinois University (yes, I went to college).
I've been working on Oracle software projects for 20 years now, with the past five as a private contractor
at the Veterans Administration. As many of you know, government work can be painful,
but the Salt Lake VA does have a good gym.



I was single through my 20s but have been married to a Hoosier for almost 17 years. We met just
after college and right before I started working at Eli Lilly in Indianapolis. We have two beautiful
girls who are 14 and 9, but the attitude change of my oldest started about a year ago--HELP. We've been
living in the mountains of Park City, UT for 10 years now. We can get way too much snow, but the
summers make up for it--almost.



I'm sure I will regret not making the pilgrimage to Mequon this June (again). Perhaps my schedule
will change before then, but anyway I've really enjoyed the web site and the emails from y'all.
The pictures brought back a lot of memories, some of a criminal nature.



Cheers everyone! Be good.

Hey Dave,

Are you talking about the night Ken was totally intoxicated and almost killed us? I use that experience as a lesson to my 15 year old girl to never ride in a car with a boy driving!

I wondered if your ski picture was from Park city but the elevation was too high. Park City tops out at 10K. Definitely look me up when you're here next time. It will be great to see you.

By the look on your face, I hope you still have your same laugh. I have been in Park City a number of times for ski trips with my family, maybe next time I'll look you up. And yes there were some crazy times. I was just talking to Ken Salmon about that night in Jon Buth's car, FULL MOONS and McDonalds, ETC. Keep having fun
