Four days after starting Basic training in the fall of 79 the hostages were taken in Iran. Thought for sure I was goig to die!!!. Well I did not die :) and actually had the time of mylife.

hat I learned about life, all its joys and tragidies. I also found my vocational calling. After my service time was up returned to the states to live in Florida
with my Dad and attend college.I graduated from Miami Dade Community College in 1989 with an associates degree in nursing. and later would complete my BSN at Florida Atlantic University. I became a parent in 1998. The little girl that I am pictured with is my daughter Kelsey. She my only child from my first marrige. She is the joy of my life! My intrest include diving and snorkeling, love it when there is a shark in the water. I also attempt to play the guitar, but she is harsh mistress, very demanding and sometimes all consumming. I hope that there is a reunion. Cannot believe that it is thirty years, where has the time gone?
