I am just discovering a new passion for genealogy and very much appreciate the helpfulness of so many who are much more skilled and experienced than I am. My wife and I are both 100% 2nd generation Norwegian Americans and I wish to pass our family history on to our children and grandchildren. Family names include Mattson, Mathison, Iverson, Kyllo, Langseth, Digre, Distad,

My career adventures included service in the Peace Corps from 1966 to 1968 in Iran and travels throughout Europe and the Middle East. For 24 years I enjoyed teaching English, journalism and theatre arts at Hastings Senior High School. I worked as Technology Director for the school district for 10 years prior to my retirement.

I enjoy all things Mac, our two beautiful granddaughters as they begin school, my own home construction projects, landscaping, listening to music at our pool, foreign travel, concerts, reading and communication technology.
