Happily married to the love of my life. Looking forward to empty nest syndrome. Ha! We've got four gone and two in various stages of know it all. The gene pool can be a tricky place.

Living in paradise. Enjoying the beaches, the pool, the people, the food and our grandkids and doing some traveling.
I thought I'd be golfing in retirement, but 20 years in the Corps broke me down pretty much completely. So many surgeries and almost 100 pieces of metal and other objects in my body, I do spend a fair amount of time at various doctors. Thankful that there is excellent medical care here in Charleston.
Awaiting word on VA hearings (who isn't?)

Memories Marine Air Control Squadron-4
Lost all power to compound when civilian contractors from Alabama (first and only contract ever awarded) cut 4 phase power lines during operation. Looked like a big, green anthill had been kicked. Fully operational within 8 minutes.
