Freddie's Story
Attended business school after grad - got a bug after about 1 year - joined Marine Corps, got married, had one son and one daughter, stayed for 22 years- went to work again with Postal Service, 20 years - divorced after 37 years and 2 months - now single and retired - doing volunteer work and traveling/cruising with companion of about 8 years - enjoying life and am blessed!
Always wanted to become a CPA - got tired of school, joined Marine Corps and stayed for 22 years because I needed to provide for a wife and 2 children, all of which I loved!
Blow off steam by talking to friend and getting their opinion of the situation - then re-thinking the whole situation and admitting my wrong if need be. There's only one perfect being and HE ain't on this earth at this time!
Wildest thing in school - was to invite a girl I didn't even know to be my date for my own high school prom dance.
Before going to work anywhere, I need to have my daily bible reading and prayer time, my coffee, and...Expand for more
cigarettes to be able to deal with the day-to-day.
My hero - my grandparents on my mothers side of the family - never saw either of them angry and never heard either of them say a curse word. All they ever did if offer encouragement to be good at one does.
After high school lived wherever the Marine Corps sent me! West coast, east coast, far east. Retired in the area of San Antonio TX.
The one person from my past who I'd most like to see again is Susan Knight, because she was my first true love!.
Love animals - dogs more than cats; however, never seem to be home enough anymore to give proper attention to dogs; therefore, only have 2 cats at this time, both of which are male because of someone's adivce.
Biggest suprise of my life was a divorce from my wife of 37 years - because, though she was seen by multiple docters, she was never diagnosed as "bi-polar mixed" which resulted in her wanting to beat me over the head with a baseball bat - couldn't live under those conditions.
