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/Summer-Fall 1969 Campaign
From Month/Year
June / 1969
To Month/Year
October / 1969
Description This campaign was from 9 June to 31 October 1969. During the summer and fall of 1969, conduct of operations was increasingly turned over to Vietnamese, US troops withdrew in greater numbers amid reaffirmations of support for the Republic of South Vietnam government. President Nixon announced the reduction of the U.S. military presence in South Vietnam which would be demonstrated initially by the withdrawal of 25,000 troops by 31 August 1969.
American troop strength had peaked at 543,400 in April 1969 but dropped to 505,500 by mid October. More scattered than before, enemy attacks were concentrated on South Vietnamese positions. U.S. combat deaths were down in the early fall as American units switched to small unit actions. The trend was not constant, however, because U.S. troops deaths which had fallen well below l00 a week in the fall, rose above 100 later in the year.
