Tiberion (Andy) Morales chimes in

After graduating I went to Washington State University where I studied commercial art and was introduced to the martial art of Tae Kwon Do. In the summer of 1972, I decided to move to Vancouver, WA where my brother and his family were living and started working in the restaurant business. Shortly thereafter I met my future wife, Deborah Widstrand. After a long courtship (3 months) we married in 1973.

We returned to Yakima for about 5 years where I worked for the Yakima School District and Debbie worked as a secretary. Our family grew to 2 boys and 1 girl while we were there. I continued my training in Tae Kwon Do.

I then moved my family back to Vancouver, WA where I earned my black belt in Tae Kwon Do. I started my own school, Vancouver Tae Kwon Do, and am now retired from teaching after 25 years. After a 10 year gap, we added one more child to our family, a girl, who is an absolute delight. She will be off to Oregon State University this fall to finish her studies in archaeology. We also have 4 grandchildren.

Debbie and I have settled down in our home in Vancouver. I am working for the Vancouver School District and Debbie is an artist. We are still together after 36 years and loving it.

Thank you
