| Introduction | I entered the US Army right out of high school and planned to serve my three years and then attend Louisiana TECH and obtain a degree in electrical engineering. Twenty one years later I retired from the US Army. I was a counterintelligence Special Agent and had some really interesting assignments in Okinawa, Thailand, Vietnam, Germany, and many stateside locations. I served in Vietnam with the 1st Cavalry Division. I was the Chief of Police of the small village of Belcher, LA, for 12 years, an elected position. I then retired about 10 years ago and started growing LA irises and daylilies. |
| Interests | I am interested in military history, electronics, computers and my hobbies include HO trains, building bird houses and fishing. I grow LA irises, Spuria irises, iris virginica, Dutch irises and a limited number of Tall Bearded. We also grow over 400 varieties of daylilies. We are located in Northwest LA, near TX and AR, and are in zone 8. |
| Favorite movies | Any John Wayne movie will do. Especially love "She Wore A Yellow Ribbon" since it has John Wayne and the US Cavalry in the movie. Best Vietnam movie -- "We Were Soldiers", about the 1st Cav Div. |
| Favorite music | Mostly country music, classical country music. Really like music by Burt Bacharach and "Hooked on Classics". |
| Favorite books | Wide reading interest and read a lot of novels. Enjoy murder mysteries and "spy" novels. Really like reading Lee Child, Brad Thor, Jack Higgins and Tom Clancey. |
