I was an unpopular skinny little punk kid with a duck tail Levis and T shirt as my dress code. Very shy. Majored in all the shops. Dropped out of school in 1960 and went into the US Air force. Received my GED in the service and served 8 yrs. I later went to college and majored in Mechanical engineering.doing 4 yrs in 3 and working full time. Lost my job around Christmas moved to Gunnison Colorado and worked as a foreman on 7,000 acre ranch for two years.

testing and research on fleets of vehicles. Got laid off on Christmas 1972 and couldn't find another job to pay or keep up with my bills so went into the US Navy and retired in 1988. Many jobs and adventures after that.
We live in the high dessert now with 5 horses and two dogs. Just loving life, nature and God. Lived all over the US and abroad. Moved way to many times and glad to be back home except for the Democratic state and the loss of so many industries.
My best friend of 52 years lives close by Garry Sims and he is also retired. Hope all of you that knew me were as fortunate as I with having a good life.
