I joined the US Army in January,1962 with my good friend Wally Copeland. He changed his mind and I went alone. I was stationed in Germany for 30 months. I was discharged in December 1964.I married and moved to Bergen County,(Maywood and Dumont)in 1967.I moved to Florida in 1974 and have been in the same house since and own a condo in Sarasota,Fl., married 37 years.I guess as you get older you tend to stop and look back at your past with good memories and curiosity about those that were a part of it.
