I am retired and living on 140 acres in N. Arizona. I live right off Rte 66. Got lots of room for guests and lots of extra room for those that want to visit.

They recently found cancer in my colon late 2006. Great news - radiation, chemo and removing about a foot (no bag required) took care of the problem in early 2017..
I just participated in the 2018 Route 66 Fun Run from Seligman AZ to Topock AZ in the sweet 1987 Corvette that I purchased on the Marine Corp's Birthday.
Attended the Commandants Marine Corps Ball in 2016
I had a four-way heart bypass on my 81st birthday. I am successfully into my second month of a three month process of healing and all is going well
Vietnam War/Counteroffensive Phase V Campaign (1968)
From Month/Year
July / 1968
To Month/Year
November / 1968
Description This campaign was from 1 July to 1 November 1968. During this period a country-wide effort was begun to restore government control of territory lost to the enemy since the Tet offensive. The enemy attempted another such offensive on 17-18 August but his efforts were comparatively feeble and were quickly overwhelmed by Allied forces.
In the fall of 1968 the South Vietnamese government, with major U.S. support, launched an accelerated pacification campaign. All friendly forces were coordinated and brought to bear on the enemy in every tactical area of operation. In these intensified operations, friendly units first secured a target area, then Vietnamese government units, regional forces/popular forces, police and civil authorities screened the inhabitants, seeking members of the Viet Cong infrastructure. This technique was so successful against the political apparatus that it became the basis for subsequent friendly operations. Government influence expanded into areas of the countryside previously dominated by the Viet Cong to such an extent that two years later at least some measure of government control was evident in all but a few remote regions.
