king. Lots of party's. Don't believe i ever lost my nerd look but it must have been in style in Europe. Fell in and out of love several times. Met my soul mate. Got married and we're still together after 33 years and two wonderful daughters. Lucky me! Served 21 years in the Army. Never saw action in the middle east. Lucky me! I saw enough to have a tremendous respect for today's service men and women. Went to work in manufacturing after retiring form the Army. Managing countinous improvement activities is my forte. Enjoy the work and the friends made through work and church. When not working, family, golf, and fishing are my passions. Nice to live in one place for a change. Denison, TX, is now home. Parents still live in Gulfport, MS. Life is good. Lucky me!
