Ron Vallance:  

any in Las Vegas selling Timberline estimating software. Timing could not have been better, what with the building boom and all. I don't consider it work but I volunteer two nights a week and run the evening religious education program at the catholic church. Was doing the Confirmation service projects for the high schoolers for four years. Now that was a trial. Military Not very proud of my service. I did take a year of ROTC at Oklahoma State. Went to enlist in the Marines in 1967 but they wanted me to finish college the next year and I still had a year of wrestling to go. One year of UCLA changed my views in a hurry and by the time I graduated my desire to serve was gone. I got drafted and was not happy about it, but having that wrestler spirit in me I wanted to be the top recruit. So, because the DI was angry at be for not becoming a platoon leader, he matched me up with the largest guy in the unit. I at the time was 130 lbs. I lifted him to my shoulders and ran like hell on the 100 yd man carry. Out popped a hernia, and out of boot camp I went and back to civilian life. I have a great regret about this. Except for about a five year span, late 60's early 70's I have always considered myself very patriotic and conservative. I should have done my duty. I thank those of you who did it for me.
