Then . . .

He then graduated from the University of Denver in 1997, finishing in the top 11% of his class.


. . . And Now

On April 18, 1998 he met Shannan Shaw,who agreed to date him even though he made a fool of himself at the wedding where they met. A year later, they were married -- first at the Wee Kirk of the Heather 24-hour Chapel, then later formally at Saint Joan of Arc Roman Catholic Church. On June 4, 2001, Lillie Madison Zadrowski arrived. On June 26, 2003, her little brother William "W.W." Zadrowski showed up. Bernie and his family happily reside on the far-west side of the Valley.
