Back from my motorcycle ride, covered over 300 miles of beautiful Iowa Countryside. I love this State! i stopped by my 62 year old baby brothers Class of 68 mini reunion. It was great to see everyone and special thanks to the Brightwells for hosting. i hadn't seen John for about 30 years it was great plus an old pal Mark Jones who I hadn't seen for 40, Mark sold me my 1959 MGA Roadster. I only stayed an hour when, unlike my reunion, none of them could discuss Medicare....Oh these kids today!

I was born at Fort Des Moines, Iowa in 1947. Moved to Central City, Colorado at an early age, then in 1955 moved back to Des Moines and remained there until graduation from Lincoln High School in 1965.
After graduation life became an adventure, including some college, lots of travel and just learning to enjoy life. My education has been diversified to say the least attending several colleges and universities a few courses at a time and ending my formal education at Iowa State.
My occupations have been many, with the last 35 years spent in broadcasting
in one form or another. I have many things I love, my wife Chris, my daughter
Paula and my son Shad. I love also love Ames and Iowa. What I am and what I will
be is always grateful to the people and things that have surrounded my life in
this great part of the country we live in. The are a lot of things I've left out
but I'm sure we'll share more as you continue to visit this site.
Hear Mel in the Morning from 6-9AM Monday-Friday.
