Mickey Napier

After graduation, I married Gayle Thompson, my grade-school sweetheart, in October of 1961. She was the only girl I knew who wasn't taller than me. We were married for the next 39 years until she passed away a year ago. We had three children, who gave us seven beautiful grandchildren.

All those years I worked as a heavy equipment operator until I retired one year ago. I now live in Julian, California.
