 Additional Information
What are you doing now:

Retired from Dentistry in the Central Florida area at age 70, moved back to my wife's home north of Whiting Field, Fl.  Betty, my wife, and I hunt deer out our back door,  We both use archery and guns during the appropriate season.  We used to scuba dive for over thirty years, but decided to quit before the sharks had us for dinner.

We fish in the Gulf of Mexico using my boat DEADLOCK,  (Deadlock was VMO-2's call sign in Vietnam.)  The boat has twin Cummins and is docked near Destin Inlet.  We have had this boat for over 25 years and enjoy using it whenever possible. 
   
Other Comments:

We now help raise great grandchildren who live nearby in Milton, FL.
