Location Downingtown, PA, United States
Introduction I am, first and foremost, a child of God, saved by His Grace through His Son, Jesus. I am father of 8, including my four little Angels who are waiting with the Master who loves the little children) , and grandfather of the two smartest and most photogenic grandchildren in the world. And to quote Lee Marvin, "once, by God, I was a Marine." I am an admirer of all sorts of fire arms. I consider the Second Amendment to be the guarantor of all of our other constitutional rights. I think there ought to be a Constitutional Amendment outlawing the Designated Hitter and the insane practice of awarding World Series home field advantage to the league that won the All-Star Game. I am kept safe and well-shepherded by Ava T. Dog.
Interests The history and well-being of my beloved Marine Corps, US History, politics, my family, and my church. I am also a baseball fan--Cardinals since I was a very little boy and, more recently, the Phillies.
Favorite Movies The High and the Mighty, Mr. Roberts, Henry V, almost any other John Wayne movie, Lonesome Dove, 12 O'Clock High, The Manchurian Candidate (the original Sinatra version), Field of Dreams, The Enemy Below, The Caine Mutiny, Away All Boats, Battle Cry, What Price Glory?, Lonesome Dove
Favorite Music The Traveling Wilburys (especially End of the Line), Toby Keith, Alan Jackson, Bach's organ compositions, Widor's organ compositions, almost anything by The Seekers (their 1993 performance of I Am Australian is wionderful)
Favorite Books Isaiah, Psalms, Luke, Romans, Starship Trooper, and almost anything by Heinlein, Frederick Forsyth's The Shepherd (a lovely Christmas story), anything written about the War Between the States, and Thomason's classic Fix Bayonets!
