Michael's Story
Life
Here we go, In school was on the wrestling team until coach Mauger caught me out by the "smoking tree" and kicked me off the team. Was on the football team but family problems caused me to quit. Besides that, I was pretty much a loner. I wasn't in any other groups or clubs.
Since graduation, I spent 5 years in Uncle Sams Canoe Club (NAVY) .....traveled to Beirut, Lebanon, Barcelona, Spain;Naples, Italy; Heifa, Isreal; Toulon, France, etc. I spent most of my time on shore though in Beirut, Lebanon until the barracks were blown up by a suicide bomber in a truck on Oct.25,1983. I lost a lot of friends that morning and still think about them..
After getting out I drove 18 wheelers cross country for a combined total of over 20 yrs, 10 of which I owned my own truck (If it ain't a Peterbuilt, It ain't worth having). I was able to see parts of our country that you wouldn't have thought about going to or even known that they exsisted..Travel had been my life for over 15 yrs....I am happily attached to a woman that is a man's dream come true, we have 1 boy 25 and one girl 22.....We have traveled extensi...Expand for more
vely together, seeing both the US and Germany. We were actually in Germany when the Berlin Wall came down.
I now live in southern Alabama where I spend most of my time either working in the garden, remodeling our house, .or out in the shop building custom birdhouses. I'll take a photograph of a house or building and try to make the bird house a duplicate of the structure.
When I'm not busy, you can find me at one of two lakes near-by drowning some worms or down at the beach with my metal detector or scuba diving.
I have about 7 acres that I am slowly fencing in and am thinking about opening a horse rescue for abused, neglected and un-wanted horses. You wouldn't believe just how many people buy a horse for their kids or to "be one up on the Jones" for status recognition and kids out grow the horse and/or people find out afterwards just how much a horse costs to own and take care of so they just put them out in the pasture and forget about them.
I guess that's about all for now. If by chance anyone remembers me, I would love to hear from you.
Have a great day and an even better tomorrow.
