A little about me:

Born in 1951 to Janet and Gerald Redoutey of Livonia, Michigan. 2nd oldest of 5 boys. Twin of Richard. Lived in a modest 3 bedroom home in Livonia through High School. Attended St. Robert's Grade School, Emerson Jr. High, and Franklin High School. Graduated with the class of 69. Attended Ferris State University in 1969, receiving a degree in Applied Science. A short time after graduation I moved out into an apartment, staying in the S.E. Michigan area until 1981. Job positions have included Graphic Arts, Photography, Fast Food Management and Electronics.

I have been employed in World Wide Regulatory Compliance at Dell Inc. in Round Rock, Texas since 1991. I am NARTE Certified (National Association of Radio and Telecommunications Engineers, Inc.) and a member of IEEE. I have traveled to Taiwan and Korea for Dell, and look forward to additional travel in the future. I have been a licensed Amateur Radio Operator since 1966 and am the holder of an Extra Class Amateur Radio License N5KF.

We are currently living in a 3 bedroom, 2 bath home in Georgetown, Texas, just north of Austin. The family includes my wife Nancy, with one daughter, Jennifer, one granddaughter Skye, and 2 cats, Ziggy and Peaches.

Nancy was born and raised in Dearborn Hts, Michigan. Nancy attended Wallaceville Elementary School and graduated from Riverside High School. She has held positions in Accounting, Food Services and in Electronic Assembly for IBM. One of her most recent positions had been at Round Rock Medical Center in the Food and Nutrition Services area, where she was employed for over 8 yrs. Nancy started in August 2005 as the head cook for the Georgetown ISD in the Georgetown High School Cafeteria. She is enjoying holidays and summers off.

Nancy enjoys reading, spending some time on the computer, and needle point. Bob and Nancy have also made several trips to Las Vegas, usually with her mom, and enjoys traveling.

We make trips back home to Michigan to visit Nancy's Mom and Bob's Parents and brothers, 3 of which still reside in the S.E. Michigan area and one in eastern Pennsylvania. Nancy's brother currently lives in Dupont, Washington. Every few years Bob Parents and Nancy's Mom make the trip to Texas.

Please click on this link for our Vacation 2002 pictures from Murfreesburo, Tennessee. This was a February visit to see Nancy's son Matt and his new baby boy and to visit with his family.

Please click on this link for pictures of our Trip to Australia in January/February 2004. This was a trip of a lifetime. The weather was great, their summer, and lots to see and do. Travel was to 3 cities and surrounding areas, including Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne. We have posted 150 of the 500 pictures we took while there.

For 2006 Nancy and Bob took a Cruise to the Eastern Caribbean. This was a great way to relax...and leave the cooking (and driving) to somebody else. The ship held 2000 people with a crew of 800. The ship was the Costa Mediterranea which sails off of Florida in the spring and off of Italy in the summers. You can tell by the pictures we had a great week. Main ports were St. Maarten, Dominican Republic and the Bahamas. We spent a lot of time with our friends from Sydney, Australia whom we had visited 2 years earlier. We are all planning on another cruise, but this time north to Alaska in the summer of 2007.

Bob and his twin brother Rick, along with Nancy and Diane, traveled to the Twins Festival in Twinsburg, Ohio the first weekend of August, 2006. It was very interesting seeing so many "doubles". It was the first time for Bob and Rick to attend. Plans are to attend again in a few years. Click the link, and then the main photo to bring up the albums.
