Welcome to my world. This will be a rather chaotic mix of musings, family, and interests. Feel free to follow the links to where they may lead. I'll be here when you want to come back.
I live in Tucson, Arizona and work at the University of Arizona (established in 1885 when a local saloon keeper and a gambler donated the land for the campus - and it is still considered a party school). I have two children, a daughter, Lisa Reddig a son, Mike Reddig , a daughter-in-law, Lauri and a wonderful grandson, Griffin. . My family includes my parents, Herman and Bessie Aschmann, (my mother died a few years ago and my father is in his 90s and going stong), , and four brothers, Bob (died a few years ago), Tim, Dan and Rick. My cat , DC (Dark Cloud) who was part persian and part something has gone to cat heaven but I still miss her.
Here is a short history of my grandparents with links and images.

I enjoy reading, riding the bus, riding my bike and walking . I would be perfectly happy to spend most of my time traveling (unfortunately I do have to earn a living) and staying in hostels . I spend way too much time wandering around on the Internet but don't intend to cut down. I have links throughout my webpages to places that I enjoy going to. You can also read my resume to see what I have done in the workplace.
