Biography

Both Wanda and I are retired Law Enforcement.  Wanda retired in September 2000 from the Shawnee County Sheriff's Department after having served 27 years with Shawnee County.

I retired in May  2000 from the Shawnee County Sheriff's Department after 25 years, with the rank of Lieutenant.  At the time of my retirement I was in charge of the criminal investigation division.

We have been married since January 5, 1964 and have two children, a daughter Karrie and a son Kevin.  We also have three grand-children, a grandson Garrett Michael Gibson, a grand-daughter McKenna Lynn Crady and a grandson Drew Jeffery Crady.

For the last thirty seven years or so we have been active in Square Dancing.  I started calling dances shortly after finishing lessons and currently am calling for the Wheatheart Squares in Topeka, and guest call in the area.  We are currently serving as the Presidents of the Kansas Square Dance Callers Association.  We are also past-presidents of the NE Kansas Callers Association.

This January our grand-daughter McKenna graduated from Square Dance lessons and is currently the youngest dancer in Kansas.

We also have hosted Crady's Country Capers an annual Square Dance weekend since 1985.
