Life
Since graduation in '68, Iwent into the Army. I made that my career for 20 years. I've been to Germany the most, 11 years there total. I was in Ft Ord, Ca., Ft Dix, NJ, Ft Eustis, Va., Ft Meade, Md., and APG Proving Ground, Md. where I retired. I live in Aberdeen, Md outside APG and 30 miles north of Baltimore. I married a German lady in 1972, had two sons, divorced in 1988. Married a Vietnamese lady in 1992 and am still married to her. I have only two boys of my own. I have 6 stepchildren and 13 grandchildren. I am now disabled. I had a heart attack in 1988, an angioplasty in 1993, and a triple by-pass in 2000. I died on the table twice during this surgery. The doctors gave up on me. He had my wife call the family together because he said I wouldn't last the night. The Lord Jesus had other plans for me. I also got the hospital infection which took 6 different antibiotics to find one to knock out the infection. The doctors at Walter Reed Army Medical Center called me a miracle. My...Expand for more
heart is functioning at only 21 percent but I thank God for that. Its due to him that I am still here. I'm only 52 years old and would like to stay atleast until my 2 year old granddaughter grows up. I actually heard the nurse say the times I died on the table. My spirit got down into deep prayer with the Lord and he pulled me through. My wife Joan and a lot of church friends prayed also without ceasing. I don't care what people say about God. There is a GOD !!. I'm living proof of that. One cardiologist wouldn't take me as a patient because I was a complicated case. I also have diabetes and numerous other cardiovascular ailments. I'm happy with what I have and with the time the Lord allows me. He has taken care of me and I'm sure he will continue. PRAISE THE LORD !! I am now 100 per cent disabled. No more work for me. I spend a lot of time with my two grandchildren and have fun with them. I am mainly a househusband now. My loving wife works and handles the heavy stuff. God bless her.
