Ron's Story
Believe me; it is way way to boring. ron 7-12-2011
I always wanted to be a Navy Frogman when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a goofy idea. As it turns out, they were wrong!.
BLOW OFF STEAM: Honestly, I hope not the way you remembering me" RELAXING: 1). Bible research and proving what I find to be either the truth or a lie. 2). Sharing with others and asking them, to share with me 3). Watching Jeopardy, playing Trivia, and doing Crossword Puzzles
If I'm going to work somewhere, I need to have product knowledge, product skills, and patience of Job to be able to deal with the day-to-day.
Jehovah and His Son, Jesus, BOTH are my greatest hero's. My inspiration, and drive, all comes from the Bible, my Wife, my Family, and my loyal (true) friends!
SPORTS: Pro. Football (NFL), Pro. Hockey (NHL), and World Class (football) Soccer!
PETS: ALL the pets; dogs and cats that I've been so fortunate to love, and have their love returned unconditionally...no better feeling.
SPORTS: In Order; the NFL, the NHL, and 'World Class' (football) SOCCER! PETS: Everyone of my Dog's and Cat's
Eating "garlic" -- Mrs. Baumgartner's 4th grade class, Ford Elementary School; Fullerton, California -- in the late 1940's (all the other class mates who also ate garlic, you know who you are - right Shari [H] Franken, for one)...
If I'm going to work somewhere, I need to have skill, ability, and the "patience" of Job to be able to deal with the day-to-day.
I've lived in; California (6+times), Louisiana (2 times), South Dakota (1 time), Texas (2 times), Colorado (3 times),
North Dakota (1 time), and (now) Minnesota... Moved due to work and family...

rom my past who I'd most like to see again is Otis McCoy, because he was my best friend; 3rd to 8th grade..
Biggest surprise was that I did not die before my 29th birthday...a few know what I'm saying and why...
Remodel home by; updating kitchen with more cabinets and gas appliances, add on another bedroom for company (and when I'm in the "dog house").. That would be our, Nubia's and my, dream house...
Mrs. Baumgartner, Mr. Moore, and Mrs. Meger -- 4th, 5th, and 6th grade teachers ALL from Ford Elementary School, Fullerton, California...because they were great teachers who cared about us students...
I'm, 70 years old, and when I was 12, people my age now were totally 'over the hill' and never had sex anymore. Ha! Have I ever had a "wake-up call" about life. Should have listened more intently to my grand father, back in the early to late 50's!!!
1st Crush: Very sadly, she tragically died of breast cancer...(additionally -- my 2nd childhood crush; never told her...on a real positive note: she is still alive, has great children, awesome grand children, and I'm hoping - for sure - a wonderful loving husband)
My best friend would tell you I'm crazy, but people who don't know me very well would probably describe me as certifiably crazy.
I share my home with wife, which I find great benefits with love tossed in.
In 10 years, I hope to be alive. I'm going to get there by "surprise"...
My first job was at the Los Angeles Examiner, where I got paid $40 to $50 a month to deliver papers. What I remember most about it is the early hours and breaking my right hand..
Childhood memory -- never to be forgotten: My dad being killed; he was 28 and I was 8... October 1949
