Marcus's Story
After high school, like so many of us, I joined the Air Force. I spent the most of my tour of duty based in Hawaii (ahh, the agony...)where I was wild, reckless and unconcerned about the future.(This philosophy would be my credo for the next 20 years).

After the military, I attended college, got married, lived in Boston, moved to NC. I worked for the State of North Carolina for 10 years. During that time I got divorced, married, divorced. I moved back to Detro...Expand for more

As I look at where I am today and reflect on where and what I was doing back "in the day", I can only say that God is good! He has blessed me with a beautiful family and home. If there was one statement that would characterize me today it is, "I survived my youth in spite of myself". Thanks be To God. At 61 I still play tennis and am able to dress myself (smile).
My current age is 61. When I was 12, I thought that people my age now would be living with one foot in the grave. I was so completely wrong.
