I had the pleasure of serving nearly 30 years in the United States Army. This could not have have been done without the support of Bonnie and the family. Bonnie calculates that we moved nearly 25 times during the course of my career. Some moves were a short distance, as in the same community; some moves were overseas. Whether around the block or around the world, there is no such thing as an easy move.

During my service I met some great people. Many I still keep in contact with. I value these relationships and regret the ones that somehow dropped over the years. If our paths have crossed, send me a note; I'd love to hear from you.

Bonnie would ask, "What are you doing with this Web page?" The answer is that I'm not sure, but the fact is that Army life was such a part of me for most of my life, and it just seems like I ought to do something. So here is a collection of "stuff" of dubious value. Read at your own risk.
