David Rohlader

Born: 12/18/1938 in Washington, DC.  I lived for many years in my Grandfather’s house, traveling with him to Coast historical sites and museums in support of our interest in history and technology.  I married Dorothy Alice Breen on June 24, 1967, in St. Mary’s Church in Alexandria, VA.  Dottie and both of our children graduated with honors from college and I am self-educated beyond my 2 years of college.  Both of us are very proud of our two children, and three grandchildren, all boys.  Since moving to Arizona, we have both been learning to “cowboy” by working as volunteers on a working cattle ranch, the XDiamond Ranch, while my hobby is repairing saddles, bridles and creating other leather tack, we engage in fence repair and maintenance, branding and herding cattle. I am playing my Celtic Bouzouki with the Round Valley Community Orchestra, and play bluegrass with a small informal group of friends.  We reside in a small log home, in Eagar, where we have interests in photography, the work of local artists, astronomy, history and archeology, as well as horseback riding and hiking in the White Mountains around our home.  Currently, Dottie is one of the Directors, and I am President of the Little Colorado River Chapter of the Arizona Archeology Society, and we are site stewards for two prehistoric pueblos, monitoring them monthly for vandalism and deterioration due to animal or weather influences.  I work with local schools to allow students to experience our universe through the lens of a telescope many East.
