Sunset on Leech Lake near Walker, MN.

Hello my name is John Bumgardner, hence my nickname, "Bum," and I live in Texas near the DFW Metroplex. I have two children, a son John Mitchell, 35, in New Orleans and a daughter Alice Jean, 28, who lives somewhere. I'm divorced, 22 years, since 1986 (but who's counting). I luckily graduated from high school in 1964, during July of 2004 we had our 40th reunion, check the picture below. I've been in and out of Texas since 1960. Have a true water fetish, the Half Moon Bay area of California is one of my favorite places in the U.S.A. For enjoyment, I love to travel, and though I'm in the state of reality most days, I manage to escape somewhere.....often! I wish to regret the things I did, not the things I didn't do. My wonderful mother passed away in her sleep during March of 2004, a truly wonderful lady who is missed more than words can say. "... We fix our eyes not on what is seen, but what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal," (II Corinthians 4:18).
