Mr. Gidre writes: "Some History, Went on and got my degree at first USF and the Sac State. I went into the National Guard = 6 Years. Came out and went into selling Life Insurance = New York Life; Married a gal who had two (2) kids 5, & 6 then, reared them, Stayed in LIfe Insurance, became an assistant manager there the decided to go back into the field. switched companies because my clients wanted me to service them in the Home and Auto insurance and NYL didnt allow that. Sold for Farmers Insurance.

I moved to Sacramento in 1976 and have been here since. I got out of insurance because of being led by the scriptures to do some thing with my hands - I felt God's leading out of the field. I went into Upholstery and have been there ever since.

I was married for 18 years but the gal I married left me saying "I never wanted marriage in the first place" - to me or even her first husband. I've been single now for 7 years and sharing the love of Jesus Christ on America On-Line as well as offline I'm very involved with my church, AWANA, and the singles ministries and love teaching kids from kindergarden to 6th grade.

Typical recreational activities, presently focused on the Y2K computer problem.

Regards,
Dick
