What are you doing now:
Our Down Syndrome 52-year-old son passed away in July 2019. My wife of 56 years and I finished a full-time military relations mission for our Church with the Recruits at Edson Range in 2021. I'm now Coordinator for ROTC/JROTC, Department of California of The Military Order of the Purple Heart, and former Commander of our local Chapter 493. I am also on the Board of our Homeowners Association. My wife, Clista, and I teach Sunday School to children 8 to 10. Living the DREAM! Semper Fidelis, Marines!
