David's Story
Life
The following year after graduating from York I headed to the University of California but an auto accident on the way there caused a delay that prevented me from meeting the enrollment deadlines so it was back to Elmhurst. The following year I was at Southern Illinois University, Carbondale (SIU). My studies were interrupted by Uncle Sam and I found myself in Vietnam as a squad leader in the 101st Airborne Division. Most of my time was spent in a place called the Ashau Valley....not a fun place.
After my discharge from the Army it was back to SIU to finish my education.
After college I opened a retail hobby and craft store which eventually led to two more for a total of three stores.
After the 9/11 attack on our country I worked for the Department...Expand for more
of Homeland Security as a lead officer in the BDO department. Too old to rejoin the military.
I'm enjoying retirement now.
I am retired
I am married and have two daughters. Both are teachers and both are married. I have four grandsons and two granddaughters.
I ran for office (New Hampshire House of Representatives) in the 2000 campaign but lost by a few hundred votes due to my inexperience and underfunding. Considering it was my first attempt I feel I did well. I'll do better next time.
I love my new adopted state and am well situated. I'm an hour from the mountains, an hour from the ocean, an hour from Boston and an hour from the lakes region. Can't ask for better than that. Oh, did I mention we don't have a state income tax and no sales tax? :o)
