We grow vegetable gardens; have Peach, Apple trees, Grape arbors,a strawberry patch. We share a wonderful love and a great Marriage. I can look at my wife and tell what she's thinking.

I'm an Honorably Discharged, Disabled Navy Veteran of the Cold War. Was in Naval Communications, held a Top Secret security clearance. I have flown on well over 150 hours of PC3 Orion flights in both the North Atlantic and Med. I was assigned to Ground Defense Forces Iceland. Along with a Marine I was made a Combat Platoon Leader over 30 Sailors.
I've been to at least 20 Countries in my travels. I flown almost to the North Pole, tower of Pisa, the Pyramids, the Coliseum, the Parthenon, Acropolis, the palace of Knossos in Crete. I've lived on Mount Etna and seen it erupt! These Days? I hunt deer, turkey, squirrel and anything else you can kill and eat. I fish for Bass, Crappie, and Catfish. When I can I try to get out and Gold prospect. |
