John's Story
Where do I start? Life is too short to really worry about it all.
Joined the Navy in Jan 85 after working thru the fast food system. I met my beautiful wife, Anne in Oct of 85 in Orlando. We were both attached to the Navy. Got married in Dec of 85. Moved to Idaho Falls in May of 86. First child, Christina born in Sept of 86. The Navy then moved us to Groton, Ct in Apr 87 and reported to my first but not last sea going command in May 87.

etired from the Navy Jan 2005.
Started working at PSNS a few months later, now two kids off to college.
Then May of 2007 I had a life altering experience. I call it the John Ritter syndrome. I had an Aortic dissection and left leg amputation. I had emergency open heart surgery. Now I have a mechanical aortic valve, a graft of my ascending aorta and still an active type B Aortic Dissection. It takes alot for me to walk and do the every day activities out of a whellchair.
To top it all off, I fell square onto my right knee Apr 2008 and completely tore my Quad muscle. I had to have that repaired to walk again. Right when I was getting distance walking in.
I feel very blessed to be alive today and to have my wonderful wife, Anne at my side with Jesus looking over me.
