I also spent some time in foreign countries (India, Sri Lanka, Lebanon) assisting their governments in the Incident Command System
I moved to Wyoming on retirement, and live near Jackson, with a blue ribbon trout stream out my front door, several ski areas nearby, and great big game hunting. I have a one child, a daughter, who lives in Hood River OR.
