Our eldest daughter, Helen, is married to Richard Girard. Rich is originally from Connecticut. He and Helen met when he was in the Marine Corps, stationed in Tustin, California.

Today Rich is employed by the Orange County Transportation Authority. Helen works at Drug Emporium. They have two children, Kimberly and Jason.

Kimberly just graduated from Tustin High School. She was a Cheer Leader and participated in the Model United Nations program (MUN). She also sang in the Tustin High School Madrigals (Choir).  Recently she was a contestant in the Miss Tustin Pageant, an official preliminary to Miss California and Miss America. Next semester she will attend Irvine Valley College (IVC) in Irvine, California. She has already joined the IVC Cheerleading Squad.

Jason is in the fifth grade at Veeh Elementary School. He is an avid sports fan and plays Little League Baseball and looks forward to playing football during the summer.

The family lives in Tustin, only about a twenty minute drive from our home.
