Vince's Story
Life
After leaving school I was in the Marine Corps for 7 years,serving in Vietnam.I owned and operated a Pest Control Co.for 25 years,Promoted a stock car race track and owned and operated a Auto repair garage untill April 2001 when it was destroyed by a tornado.
Workplace
When I worked for others it was usually in sales and I generally ended up in management. I also spent some time as a truck driver. In 1974 I started my own company, Pest Control, which was followed by promoting a Automobile Race Track and a Automobile Repair Shop. I closed the Pest control Company in 1994, the Race Track ...Expand for more

Served 7 years 3 months and 16 days in the Marine corps. Served in California, Hawaii, Okanawa, Detroit, Michigan, Quantico, Virginia, Vietnam and ship board during the Cuban crisis. Traveled to a lot of other countries. Discharged as Sgt E-5. I was picked up for E-6 but didn't stick around to get my warrant. I was discharged the day Nixon was elected President, Nov 5, 1968. At one time I was the senior E-3 in the Marine Corps with 49 months in grade, then went to E-5 in under 2 years. I was court martialed in Viet-Nam, but that is another story.
