3 years as a young lad (1966-69) in US Army, 173rd Airborne Brigade, 18 months Vietnam/Thailand. 17 years US Air Force, Clinical Social Worker, Family Violence Prevention. 28 years AF Civil Service, Clinical Social Worker, Family Violence Prevention. Retired Jan 2024 after an amazing 44 year career working with families and children. Married 1979-1997, wife Robin deceased. Two amazing kids as mentioned above who remain wonderfully close to this day and are such a amazing pleasure in life. One grandson, Alexander, who has become the apple of his grand dad's eye as his mother Tiffany raises him during his early teens. And last but not least, two incredibly long lived parrots, Dora and Snuggles (Macaws) now 30 years old, with a life expectancy of 90! My great grands will probably be caring for them!
School Story

It's amazing how those memories of my HS years remain so wonderfully clear!

Hitting the big 75 on 19 Apr 22.

It's been an amazing journey, but one well worth taking. Looking back has been such a pleasure, and never fails to bring a warm smile to my face. For those of you still on this life journey, my very best wishes to you as we continue on.

Hi Carmen. Not sure if you remember me, but when I discovered this site and said hi to Dianne Parks, and noticed she wished you a happy birthday. which triggered some memories.. Looks like you and Dianne both have birthdays that are pretty close. So happy birthday, and best wish, in hopes that you are doing really well. Hope you get this. :)
