About Me
My name is Greg Gardner, I am 57 and live in Arizona. I was told I had P D in Nov. 05. It was determined that I was an ideal candidate for DBS and had the procedure done in Oct. 06. I worked as a News Director/Reporter for NPR member station KAWC here in Yuma. After 22 and a half years, I decided it was best for me and my listeners to retire. I could no longer deliver the product they deserved. It was a very difficult decision. I have been married to Marilyn for over 35 years. I have two grown kids and three grandkids. They are my life.
