The Sinopian Six ! Who came up with that monicker anyway
? Credit the name to Ron Hoke. Where are they now you ask? Well, ask no more, for here is
a brief of their current whereabouts. The information presented is thought to be correct, but is subject
to revision.
Jim Bryson is married to Johnnie. They live in
a small town in Maryland, just outside Washington D.C. Jim is employed by Ikea, a Swedish
company and importer of household goods. He is a HR man for Ikea. Johnnie manages an antique mall and tries to
manage Jim, but so far has not been successful. Jim is the oldest of the Sinopian Six and is presently under the
weather with a severe case of Obamanitus Dementosis. Jim is an avowed Democrat, but he can change, I know he can!
Bill Cowan, unfortunately, has not been located, despite great
effort to find him. His last known residence was Australia, in 2004. All of many inquiries directed to Australia
have been futile. Before you ask, no, Bill is not a Borg. We hope that Bill has not gone to that big Outback
in the sky, but who knows?
Chester Dryke is married to Claire. They live in Minnesota.
A little known bit of trivia, is that after leaving the Army, Chester enlisted in the Navy. Why he did that
is anyones guess. Claire is a retired school teacher, and although Chester is only semi retired, he dabbles in
various endeavers and part time employment. They have a daughter.
Ron Hoke is married to Nancy. Nancy works as an accountant.
Ron is retired, but occasionally does free lance sports writing. Ron has a law degree from Indiana University
and practiced law in Goshen, Indiana. He practiced long enough to get good at it, then quit. Go figure. The Hoke's
relocated from Indiana to New Mexico, a little more than five years ago. I understand that Ron is learning
to speak Spanish and drink Tequila ! Viva la raza ! Ron and Nancy have a son
and daughter.
Rodger Jones is married to Kathy. They live twenty miles South of Cleveland. Rodger
graduated from Ohio State University and is retired from the single employment he ever had, that of the insurance industry. I
have traveled; I have observed; I have partaken in the vices. Death has passed me by on occasion. I have turned death
away from others on occasion. It's here. Sometimes, I am quite literal. Sometimes I am quite figurative. I beg your indulgence.
Kathy is a retired accountant, now active in volunteer work, cruising and spending Rodger's money. They have a son
and two daughters.
Bob Nimmerfroh lives in San Diego, California,
where he is employed as a Senior Systems Analyst. The Senior part must somehow refer to his age. Bob graduated
from the University of California, at San Diego . He used to be an avid cyclist, but recently sustained
an epiphany. Bob tells us that epiphanies are very painful, but he continues to recover, which is a good thing.
He has a son, who is a Canadian lawyer, eh? Is he a friend of the Governater? Rumor has it Bob can change "group
dynamics" with his presence and can perform other magic tricks as well.
