Life
I was born at Ft Lee Va in a miitary family. My father was a WWII & korea war vet who retired in 1972. My mother raised my brother and I and worked before the war at the Altoona Pa public library.
We lived along the east coast in Pa, NJ, VA, SC and Germany. My parents retired to South Carolina and I went to Jr High School and HS in Columbia (Lower richland HS).
I went into the Army after school in Nov 1973. I worked in the Operating Room and later retrained as an Orthotist. I stayed in for 10 years. After getting out I worked Civil Service for the Army and the VA as an Orthotist in several places around the US.
I was medically retired in 1992 due to having glaucoma.
