ission, a position I held until my retirement in late 2010. My wife Carol and I recently celebrated our 37th anniversary. Our three children are scattered: oldest daughter Heather was an USAF Captain, married a C-130 pilot and now lives in Colorado Springs with three of my six grandchildren while her Husband teaches at the AF academy. Daughter Laurie, a USAF Lt., married a C-130 pilot who flies for the Puerto Rican Guard. She and her two children live with her husband on St Croix, USVI where he is the third generation flying for and managing the family's air charter and flight services business. My son is a VP in a Manhattan advertising firm, and lives with his wife and son on Long Island. I enjoy gardening, read extensively, and enjoy my family visits very much. I still cheer for the Gamecocks.
