Mark's Story

School Grade school was at #4 School, then S.E. Shull Elem. in Perth Amboy, NJ and D.Boone Elem. in Richmond, Ky. High School was 63-67 at Madison Central H.S. Richmond, Ky. I went to Paris Island to learn to play Marine and got to do some cool schools like, jumping out of airplanes (tdy to Army at Fort Benning, GA), Naval Underwater Diving School (Subic Bay in the Phillipines) and one that I haven't had any practical application of since I rotated from Nam was a demonlitions school (Da Nang).....mmm never had a job to blow stuff up back in the world. I took classes from Univ. of Va, U of K, JCC in Louisville, Univ. of Lou. and Auburn University in Auburn, Al. Gen. Studies though grade 12. Undergrad was Biology and Chemistry. My graduate program was Exercise Physioloyg. I recieved a DVM at Auburn in 1982. I guess ther is more to what I've gotten to experience then school, military and living in a few places through 1982. Let's see sort of funny that Uncle Sam gives me some money every month for being in Nam....actiually more then when I was there. They told me when I got out that I had a hearing deficiet and now they say I have some heart diseased caused by agent orange and good ole PTSD. Maybe the latter is why I have been married four times?? So physically I got overweight, gout, high cholesterol, and a bunch of blood pressure medicines to deal with. So I changed my way of thinking and living. Since only 30% of our health is realted to genetics and 70% is lifestyle and I can control that.....so I found something that I briefly used 28 years ago. At a clinic I worked at a kennel help kid brought in some stuff guarnteed to get you to lo...Expand for more
ose weight and give you energy that his mom was selling. I got some for a month and bam it worked, but he had left the clinic and there was no follow up on it by his mom. Well not only did I run into it (a old railroader buddy n wife) but got back on it and lost weight, increased my energy level, off all but one blood pressure pill and 81mg asprin....so I became a distributor too inorder to get the discount. I lost 60#'s and still need to loose more. The company is Herbalife which is traded on the stock market (buy it), which grew 26% 2010-2011 (4.3B to 5.4B) in a bad economy and we are on track to do it again this year. Hey if anyone wants to join me call me or send me a message. All this stuff has be good, but one if not the best thing is that my wife has a grandson, Andrew, that we got at approximately 14mos and we've been raising him since and will be 4 this Halloween. I never had any kids and I understand now why people enjoy them....well I know that there can be some down sides to it, but at this time he is so cool. He makes up songs all the time and he made one up about Proten Shakes the other day. He is challenging since we've been told he has Asperger's, but it is managealble. I still like skydving, scuba and all the fun stuff...and since I'm reversing all that bad living and effects on my body I will continue to enjoy that stuff....I have to go play Vet for a little so I may add more to this later. Oh yeah, I want to sell or somehow get backed out of running a practice and do some relief or volunteer work so if you know a young Veterinarian looking for a pactice to get into let them know to contact me....finish this up later...
