    Hello!

    Wife and I spent numerous years in So California. I wound up there due to enlisting in the Navy in Indiana and spent my Navy years in both Long Beach and San Diego (Vietnam Era). Wife is originally from Michigan and moved there many years before we met in 2000. After my Navy stint, I decided to stay in So Calif. Worked at Knott's Berry Farm for awhile, was an EMT in both Los Angeles and Orange Counties and, before we moved to Colorado, worked in electronics manufacturing in Irvine area.

    After moving to Colorado in mid 2002, and a few other places since, we've never been back to So Calif. Part of my wife's immediate family lives in Lake Forest, Ontario and Ventura area.

    Hi, Cody. Thank you for your message. I live very close to Ontario, California. It's cold and raining here today, so am being a bit lazy. ;)
