Statsraad Lehmkuhl Oceanics 1972-73

Just prior to graduating from college I spent a year in Israel and Palestine working on every dig I could get on-seven all told. I missed graduation as I was in Colorado working at a Uranium mine. 

After the voyage I went back to school to consider a graduate degree in Anthropology, took the GRE’s and applied for a grant. Disappointed with my scores and not given the grant I headed north and started a  career in construction. In the late seventies, we built houses in Oregon, later moved to Northern California and worked as an electrician for the following forty years.

Genevieve and I have four children, and numerous grand-children. She is a Nurse-Practitioner, I have more or less retired. For many years we have both volunteered, I was a board member of Rebuilding Together, we both coached soccer, baseball, softball, and I managed an adult soccer team. I’ve stayed in touch with a few of you and we would welcome a visit from anyone from the Statsraad. 

P.S. We did finally make it to Istanbul.
