Before going into the Marines, I started working at a Skating Rink and worked there for two years, as a repairer of skates and Floor Guard I also worked part-time as a burger flipper at a burger joint. When I turned 17 I went and joined the Marines in 1972 and they placed me on hold till Feb 12, 1973, when I was able to go to Boot Camp in 1981 I got out.. Then I started off working in 1981 as a Feed truck Driver in Hooker, OK. I worked there learning how to Doctor Cattle process cattle and operate heavy equipment did that for about 7 years, then moved north to Garden City, Kansas, and started working in a Plastic Fitting manufactory making PVC pipe fittings and had a job working part-time and worked in Radio. After having to stop working at the piping fitting shop. I went to full-time radio playing music and worked myself up to Program Director, then last year they switched to all talk radio and went to the satellite program 24 hours a day and they didn't need me anymore, so they let me go and then I went to work again in a feed yard In S.W.. Kansas and worked there for 12 years and had so many accidents from working there. They sent me to a Doc and he declared me unable to work, so he put me into retirement mode and that SUCKS !!!!! 
One thing I'm very proud of is I am Very Conservative and not a Democrat..

Play bass guitar and in Bands called, Dale and the Bandits, Twin Country, Country Justice, and Born in the Barn. 20+ playing and making music for a little time 20+ years. The biggest thing, opening for Jason Brown out of Nashville TN. I also sang with Billy Walker from Nashville TN...I had a good time playing and making music.
The funniest thing that ever happened while playing at a gig. This young lady walked up as I was tuning my guitar and asked me this word for word, " Hey cowboy, what you doing after the show tonight, and no sooner than she asked My Wife to pop up and said he's going home with me Bitch!!! ah, the life of a Married man in a Band...

Now, after all my injuries have caught up with me, I'm having a hard time.. I'm limited on playing my Bass now and Planing on hand surgery to try and correct it. I'm working on a better range of motion and reach.
That really hurt because I really loved my music.
Now the only thing I can do is stay at home cook do some housework play on my computer try to replay my Bass, and help other Marines with whatever they need. I love helping others, It gives me satisfaction to help others who don't know how to do something or just to help during the period.
I now belong to a Facebook Page that helps Marines Find their Platoon books. if anyone wants information on finding that or other information, just follow this link.. https://www.facebook.com/groups/
marineplatoonbooks

Also, every now and then, I'll drive for car dealers and go and bring back new and used cars and trucks. Not a lot of money, but fun too. I'm able to see a lot of the country and have some fun..
Well, an update. I gave up car and truck driving because of my heart. Had to.
In the winter months of November & December & some of Jan., I portray Santa Claus all season long and have a great time doing it. I've been portraying Santa for 25+ years and professionally for 15 years. But now that everything has caught up with me, I have to give that up.
I'm Married to Debbie and she's a great wife and my Little Goddess ..
I really hope after my hand surgery I can start playing my guitar again..
My hand surgery didn't go as well and my hope to play was dashed.
Now I really have got into collecting Goebel and Hummels.
I have a collection of over 11- 5-tier bookcases. In all, I have over 1000 of them.
That does it for me now. See you later.
Oh, my own Marine Corps Cave wall.
