My wife and are enjoying our grand children and in one case A Great Grand child. We head out for a cruise every couple of years. Already planning one this fall if all goes well. The cruise ships are a lot of fun and the weather is usually perfect.
Best Moment Capt Rick Holt and I had the priviledge to escort MajGen Louis Wilson and his lovely wife to the Medal of Honor Society, Tribration in Birmingham. The General was a Marines Marine and went on to become the Commandant of the Corps.

Other Memories Recruiting officers was a most rewarding job. We recruited ground officers and pilots. Traveling all over the south eastern US to many colleges put us in contact with some the finest Marine Officer Candidates I had ever met. Many went on to become career officers. I enjoyed OSO Birmingham and the people in that area were just great. I almost decided to settle down there after retirement, but NH , my home, had more appeal and of course the four seasons. Right now I'd prefer one warm season all year long. The OSO, Maj JB Way, was one of the finest officers I had the pleasure of working with. Thanks to this Web Site I was able to talk to him on 3-3-07. Many thanks go out to those who helped to locate him. I found out after 36 years that he did 28 years and retired as a Colonel.
