Enjoying life, as we travel, be it on a cruise, flight, or a car trip. So much to see, and so little time remaining. Every day is a gift to be thankful for. Still, much more to see and do, as we continue the march.

Enjoying my full retirement from the USMC,(20 yrs),and the Department of Agriculture(22yrs) as a Federal Meat & Poultry Inspector. I conducted anti, and post mortem inspections on all red meat species, that are sold in commerce. I have also been tasked with inspecting equine(horses) for export to France. Inspected poultry, and red meat in slaughter plants, and processing plants, from Maine to Virginia. Worked with Veterinarians on pathology dispositions of all species of red meat, and poultry. Conducted Pre-operational, and operational inspections of facilities, and plant personnel. Had to ensure product ingredient formulations were being adhered to. Restaurants, and supermarkets were not under our control. Only Federally regulated establishments were inspected, by the field Inspectors. We were considered the "Police Force", for the meat, and poultry industry. Consumer protection was our ultimate responsibility, and goal.
Married Mary Lou, following the loss of my previous two beautiful Wives, Amy(39 yrs) and Carol(6 yrs).
Mary Lou has been the blessing in my life since I first met her. She is a very classy, intelligent, and loving Wife. Since our marriage,9 January, 2005, we have extensively traveled on cruises in Hawaii,through the Mediterranean,Panama Canal Zone, and a few cruises to the Caribean. We just returned from a trip to Barcelona, Spain, Cities of Sicily, then up to the northern parts of Italy. It was really facinating to visit the "Old World". Not to mention a few trips to Las Vegas. Mary Lou, and I met through Match,com. In her profile one of the things she said she did best was "Make Reservations". I had no idea how literally she meant that. She has traveled to Egypt, Russia, Alaska,China and many more countries. I have no idea how much more traveling we will do in these next few years, but I can bet on one thing, our suit cases will be close at hand. My Mary Lou is a very generous,kind, and charitable Lady. Each, and every day is a happy one with this beautiful green eyed Lady. My life is complete, and am as happy as I can be at this stage of my life. God has truly blessed me with three beautiful women, inside, and out. My Mary Lou is very special to me. Her love for me is unconditional. She accepts me, and my old USMC ways. She would have been one terrific Marine Corps Wife. Speaking figuratively, having to share in my past, she is a Marine Corps Wife. God Bless her.
