Guy and his wife Jane enjoy spending time with their daughter and son-in-law Brenna & Gene Dooley, who both play trumpet with the United States Air Force Band of Mid-America, and daughter Lindsy who attends Truman State University.

Favorite Disney Character: Does Annette Funicello count? I, along with every 10-year old boy, had a crush on her when she was a Mouseketeer on the Mickey Mouse Club TV Show. Otherwise it would have to be Timon & Pumbaa, my favorite comedy duo since Abbott & Costello.

Most Memorable Travel Moment: Turning the corner of Orange Grove & Colorado Boulevard as director of the “Marching Dutch” in 1988 and then again in 2003.
