Ed Anderson/

One enjoyable time I remember in High School was taking drivers training with Bill Viverto and Pat Lock. They were both crazy and full of fun and I was introverted and shy. I really had fun being a part of that group.

I served a tour in Marine Corps. I've spent 48 years as a banker, and am now retired. My wife, Renee and I have been married for 46 years and have 2 sons and 7 grandkids. We're both saved and love to serve the Lord. We've had a wonderful life with no regrets and have very much to be thankful for. I now serve on several boards, play a lot of golf and really enjoy gardening and landscaping.

None so far. God has been very good...no real health issues beyond the normal creakiness and minor pains of living in this 70 year old body!

I love good food...everything my wife makes!

I was pretty much the geek...can't remember doing anything beyond the norm. Oops, forgot; a group of about four of us drove up in the Covina Hills early one morning and picked up a full trash can that had been set out and carried it out the window at a speed of about 35 mph and let er go. What a mess and later an awful guilt trip, even though we were never caught.

I enjoy the freedom from the responsibilities and pressures of the hectic, executive culture. I found the corporate lifestyle takes more from you than it gives! I like the fact that younger folks seek me out for counsel on financial issues.
I love having the time and freedom to spend with my wife to do all the things we've dreamed about for forty plus years.

Yes, I had lunch with John Wooden just after he won his first National Basketball title. He was one of the most gracious men I've ever had the privilege of meeting.

Golf, Garden and teach financial principles classes. I have also restored numerous classic cars over the years and am now focused on a 1970 Charger R/T 440...(pictures attached) it's almost done and probably my last restoration. We also love to travel in our R.V. and visit friends, relatives and see places we've dreamed of but never visited.

I've been on T.V. a few times (bank related) and also been quoted in newspapers,etc. (also bank related)

Got married! Served in the Marine Corps. Skydiving in my early 60's. Participated in a back to bootcamp challenge at Marine Corps Recrut Depot, San Diego when I was 64...I know, really stupid!

In my early twenties. I flunked out of College and was fortunate to land a job in a bank as a teller. That job established a career opportunity that became my passion for 48 years. During that same time I received my draft notice so I joined the Marine Reserves so I could continue my banking career. The realities of Viet Nam made me realize that life is serious business. I decided that if I were ever going to amount to anything, I had better get started. I went on to finish my schooling and eventually (at 45) finished my masters in banking.

U S M C. Honorably discharged as Seargent E-5.

We moved to Idaho in 1975 to get away from the smog and congestion of Southern California. We wanted a more "family friendly" place to raise our kids and were looking for a smaller community. We have never been sorry for that decision!

Literally all over the world. I've worked in Zambia, Africa, been to Europe, South America, Mexico, Hawaii, the Caribbean, Canada, and all over the United States. We love to travel!

Nope!

I guess I just love to read and expand my horizons!

1. Broke my wrist my Junior year in High School doing a dismount from the high bar in gymnastics. That one got me kicked out of typing and into men's chorus...what a bummer!
2. Broke my nose twice playing basketball, as well as a couple of fingers, an ankle, and two ribs (over 35 years of playing city league). Who says basketball is a non-contact sport?

I was working the drive-up teller window for the First National Bank of Nevada in Las Vegas.

Too numerous to list.

Yes, the 10th, 45th and 50th.

I have no regrets! I would not change a thing.

Born in Torrence, Ca. but conceived in Ohio. My dad transferred to L. A. to work in the war effort at McDonnell Douglas. We moved to West Covina in 1949 and Covina in 1956...Dad got a new job and we moved closer to his work.

I met my wife when she was 7 and I was 12...I let her ride my bicycle! We started dating when she turned 18 and were married 6 months later in Covina at St. John's Lutheran Church.

When we sold the bank I was working for I was in charge of branch operations and human resources. In order to merge the two banks successfully I was charged with reducing annual payroll by $1.5mm. Since I had hired most of the staff, letting so many of "my family" go was a very difficult and upsetting challenge. Fortuately we accomplished a lot through attrition over 6 months and I was able to find work for most everyone else in other banks in our market.

You bet! sometimes we just put up a tent in the back yard, built a campfire and roasted hot dogs. I have great memories of those years, especially pre-teen.

Yes, and have the scars to prove it.

Yes, quite a few times. My older brother Bill made me at first, and then I got used to it and actually enjoyed it after awhile.

My wife has made me promise not to tell any jokes! she's the commedian in our family, and I'm the serious straight guy!

1956. Dad got a new job. My first experience was at the old campus shared with West Covina. I was from West Covina and had grown up with all those kids, but as a Covina student found that the friendships did not transfer and was considered an outsider by my old friends and a newcomer by the Covina group. Not a fun first year! I think I was the smallest kid in our class most of my high school years and spent too much time as the butt of too many practicle jokes.

I started my banking career combined with service in the Marines which proved to settle me in more as a conservative. I did not appreciate the free thinking, pot smoking, anti-war protestors. I especially did not appreciate the way we in the military were treated at a time when we were risking our lives to protect the freedoms that allowed that crowd to demonstrate. I love this country and did not appreciate seeing it divided like it was in those years!

Dumbo (my ears were bigger than my head), dork, Zim, Beamer, and Snorkie.

Nope. I missed getting the standard USMC tattoo that most of my Marine buddies got. I was sick the weekend they went to town, got drunk and ended up with their tattoos. After seeing their remorse, I stayed sober and gave those Tattoo Parlors wide berth.

Yes...several times.

Les Miserables, Phantom of the Opera, Annie, to name a few!

Play scratch golf.

As a very conservative banker; A motorhome...something I always advised my customers never to purchase. Oh well, we are of the "do as I say, not as I do" generation, aren't we?

Are you kidding? I had a secret crush on so many girls in high school it would be embarrassing to mention them all!

Yes, Renee and I visited finally in 2007 with my youngest son and his family.

P. E., Art, Accounting and Mechanical Drawing.

Yes

The Lord Jesus Christ is definitely first, and honestly, anyone who lives the life he has called us to live would fit into the "Hero" category. Our country is full of them dating back to our founding fathers and beyond. Today we have several Generals in the military who fit the mold in that they are selfless and stand tall to defend righteousness.

Continued blessings for our kids, grandkids, immediate family and friends...you're all included in that as well!

An eternity with Christ in heaven. Unfortunately we all will have to wait to achieve it...if we're saved!

Yes to all of them.

The Lord, Jesus Christ. He is our Lord and Savior...I have read so much about him, I would love to meet him face to face. Guess I'll have to wait for heaven!

That eveyone would realize their helpless, hopeless condition and accept Christ's free gift of eternal life, get saved and know they will spend an eternity with Him in heaven.

Gunsmoke, Leave it to Beaver and Ponderosa.

Dinner on the grounds at Church and then stay up late and enjoy the fireworks put on by the City of Meridian just across the street from the Church.

Serve God, be honest, trustworthy and embrace integrity. Always do right, no matter what the cost. Read the Bible and pray every day. Seek for wisdom, righteousness with all your heart!

My wife and the Word of God.

Spent 3 months in San Diego in our motormome.

Rich. Well, what did you expect?...I was a kid!

23

On my way to work. I was flabbergasted at first, then just plain angry. Yes, the evilness in man is a sobering reality, and something I can't ever seem to come to grips with.

My Bible.

Way too serious!

Give most of it to the Lords work.
