    Hi,
    My name is Charles, I'm a CNC/Manual machinist running a Mazak U-8800 & I'm also a full time college student.

    Last job I was at closed the doors, moved to Ohio. I started back to college again, at the age of 34, to get my degree I had started on 15 years ago.

    I'm married and I have a 3yr old son. I was born & raised farm boy that moved to town(& I hate it). My hobbies include: hunting, fishing, trapping, camping, boats, atv/cycles, reloading, electronics, and anything else I can blow money on.

    ..As for me, I'm now a full time bum. I spent 31+ years in the grain business, until my back gave out for good. Before that, when I was a kid, I worked on the farm, pumping gas, fixing tires and then as a janitor at a steel slitting plant. I'm not able to do everything I'd like to do but can do what needs to be done.
    ..I've settled into the role of a house-husband. Been married to the same terrific gal for 35 years. Father to two sons whom eventually turned out to be kids I can be proud of. One grandson and two grandaughters by marriage.
    ..Long term goal is to see my wife retire so we can move out of IL. My Mom is near 90 and lives just up the road a bit. I'm the only kin nearby, so I have to stick around here for her. That's me in a nut shell....or nut house...[;)]

    William is my first name, but all who know me call me Frank. I have
    been happily married to my High School sweetheart for the past 31+ years. We have two grown sons, the oldest just graduated from college this spring and the youngest will finish his undergrad degree this coming spring.

    I have worked as a Social Worker, marriage counselor, family therapist and college instructor in the past. For the past 29+ years I have worked in the Criminal and Juvenile court system as an administator.

    I fish till I can hunt and hunt till I can fish...that's what keeps me sane. (well almost) [;)]

    Folks around here call me swopjan. I'm a 21 year old meteorologist, and not like you see on TV (I get it right most of the time). Pays the bills until I can transition into real estate which is my other passion, the first being guns.

    I collect percussion revolvers because I can. Bought revolvers #13 and #14 this morning, and now that I'm 21 my wishlist got a whole lot longer.
