Mike's Story

Update: October 2012, Just back from working(?) in Afghanistan. Injured my feet jumping off the helio and got Medivac. Next day a kid from the 82nd Abn got it from a rocket. Truly I'm get'n too damn old for this stuff, but back to the story -- Geeeez, if I knew I'd live this long I would have gotten out of the Army and finshed law school. I used to be in the Vulcans car club..(tried 3 times, and made it after they lowered the standards.., smile?) cause everybody thought I was a secret member of the Continentals (after 40 years, I'll admit I was). I joined the Cal National Guard at 15 with such luminaries as Joe Bushy, Jack Grieves, and Fatman Martin, and later went active-duty, the Nam, Germany, Russia, and suddenly.., thirty years later, I retired a lowly E-8 Master Sergeant..!! After that I did a short stint in South Africa, and Rhodesia as a mercenary killing terrors for Chirst and writing for Soldier of Fortune magazine. Did some bounty hunting then dropped back into aviation.., which got me back up into "contracting" and the big bucks with Blackwater, DynCorp, and Rockwell working on project that if I told you, I'd have to kill you..(chuckle)..! I'm now living the secret good life in San Bernardino (Muscoy), California, just a stone's throw from the Mexican embassey. Not really, true the whole area is predominately Mexican, but certainly no gangbangers.., just hard working illegals with family and horses.., right, lots of horses which are well cared for and beautiful. I'm a "licensed" FAA commercial aircraft inspector, and I've now been divorced the 3rd time for God's knows how long, from mostly German Jewish girls, except for Louise Rodges the Baptist from Texas..(smile). "Weiizer" and my daughter Cherie live together in Menifee, California and raise horses, dogs, lambs, chickens, and one of everthing. I married Ms. Rogers (you remember the short skating skirts, right?) a hundred years ago, and our daughter, Cherie Mitchell, has been a detective on the Riverside, a...Expand for more
nd San Bernardino Sheriffs' departments for some years. As of the update she has retired just in time to make a few bucks and can now afford the animals. I have another daughter, Deborah Michelle who lives in Berlin, Germany which I visit once a year. She is beautiful,and a product of my for'n affairs while making the festival rounds. She claims its real estate sales she's into, but returns for far-off places with "clients" my age. We had a good talk last year while I was working in Mannheim.! I just came back from a visit with her, and while there, also hit Prague, Bratislava, Veinna, Russia,Estonia, and Budapest. The Euro is kick'n the Dollar's butt, so don't know when I will be doing that again. Most likely never this time around. My house is (was) worth a bundle, but now (that changed recently), I'll most likely move off to Santa Fe, Estonia, or maybe Germany, or a shopping-cart in San Pedro. Hey, anybody remember crazy-ass Steve Zoner..? Oh, (I had a senior moment) a few years ago I did talk to Harold Craft at the Alpine Village. Around the same time Anna Hopper and I dated for awhile.., God.., what'a lovely lady. She really had a terribletimewith her daughter being murdered in Long Beach. Anna, wherever you are, God Bless you..(smile)..!! If you guys need any war-stories you can reach me here or try slackman33(at)msn(dot)com for some good times. Also I saw Don Gergory a couple years ago, and would you believe Bobby Krudra is alive and pretty well out in Banning, California. His mother is 93(?) and spery as heck. Bob's a supervisor at Disney Land. Take care, and don't count on the Repture too soon, as you might not make it..(smile)..!! Update: I'm 73 now and need some TLC and a great lady to wipe the doole off my lips while I sit on the porch in the wheelchair. I dance, hold hands, moonlight walks, Vigara free environment, and like Latin music. Let's move to Cuba before the crowd gets going..? Kiss on the hand? I mean one needs to start somewhere, right..?
