WELCOME TO MY WORLD
I have had an interesting, adventrous and, most of the time, pretty good life. When I proposed to my wife 4 years ago I said that while we never be rich we will have some fun along the way. So far that still holds true.
Three different cities in Wisconsin were called home before dad's job took us to the Philippines in December of 1959. Graduated in 1962 from the old American School in Psay City. Great school, great classmates.
Came back to Wisconsin to go to college (Wisconsin State College at River Falls.)
Dropped out 2 months after JFK was killed joined the Air Force. Spent 20 years as a member of the world's greatest Air Force. Lived in 3 Asian countries (Viet Nam, Thailand and back to the Philippines. Lived in and/or spent time in: Texas, Illinois, Oklahoma, California, Nebraska, Florida and Upper East Tennessee.
I've covered a wide range of this country over the past, nearly, 64 years.
Two ex-wives, 2 children, 4 grandchildren. I've seen 2 brothers buried, my mother and my father.
Born and raised Greenbay Packer Fan. Conservative Republican by choice and inclination. I'm waiting for Barry Goldwater to make a comeback (Ronnie too)
Pesbyterian by choice and proud of it. Sinfully so. Baptised Catholic while dad was overseas. Took confirmation classes as a Methodist and as a Presbyterian. Spent 5th grade in a Catholic school. Baptised in a Baptist church in Upper East Tennessee, didn't take to that and just droppedout until about 10 years ago. Went to a Presbyterian church, it fit and felt right and this is where I will stay.
More later, this is going to take the rest of my life to finish.
