Welcome to Dale France Leeb's web site!
Dale France Leeb
My name is Dale and I was born and raised in Round Lake, ILL. I moved to Arizona
in 1978 and settled in Apache Junction in 1982. I am a medically retired heavy
equipment operator for
the City of Mesa, AZ. I now spend my time putting my thoughts into rhyme and some
call me a poet. I also like to grow things, which is not always an easy task in
Arizona! After battles with rabbits, ground
squirrels, birds and one rattlesnake, I ended up with a 15x10 concrete footing with
an 8’frame covered in chicken wire. We have tomatoes and bell peppers year
round; in
addition, whatever else we can fit in the raised beds, so some folks call me a
gardener. When I first moved here a friend told me
you can grow anything in Arizona as long as you have the water, we have our water
delivered in a
water truck at about $2.00 per 100 gallons so gardening is a very costly hobby.
Thanks to my long time friends Randy and Ed, we now enjoy running water.
Now I can start my own rain forest.
I am also the maker of
custom candles, a craft that my
wife learned from a friend
in College
and I started
doing to help
out during the
ILL. winter
construction
layoffs. I have
been making
candles in my
spare time for
20 years now
and I get a
little better at
it every year,
but, again,
Arizona
summers
make it near
impossible to
work with wax
for four or five
months of the
year. One
night the
Internet
jumped out
and grabbed
me, and new
friends,
interests, and
old friends
with research
needs help
me through
the nights.
I have saved
the best for
last!
My wife Judy
and I have
been together
for 23 years.
Six years to
make sure it
would work,
and 17 years
married. We
have two
lovely
daughters,
Molly is 16,
and Bridget
is 13. They
were both
born in
February and
our
Anniversary
is Valentines
Day, so it is a
busy month
for us but a
fun 1.
I started this
page hoping
to show
people the
importance of
being an
Organ Donor.
I started to
put together
facts and
figures and
found it was
taking up a lot
of valuable
time, then I
found a
wonderful
web site put
together by
Lori Noyes; I
could never
have done as
good a job
and I was
given
permission to
link to her
site. Thank
You Lori!
I also have a
link to “Ask
Dr.Weil” He
is a M.D. and
a
homeopathic
doctor, a rare
find in today’s
medicine.
There you will
find answers
to many of
your health
questions
and try
the database
to search for
subjects not
covered in
the archives. I
also have my
favorite music
trivia link,
give it a try
unless you
are afraid you
will show your
age! I will
also be
adding a lot
of information
about Arizona
as
permission is
granted to
use pictures
and stories of
interest.
There are
also links to
friends I’ve
met on the
Internet,
check them
out too! Last,
but I hope not
least, there is
some of my
poetry just so
you can see
where my
head is at.
Thank you for
your visit and
come back
again soon!
This page will
always be
under
construction,
and you never
know what
you will find
next.
PEACE!!!
