Robert's Story

Hello everyone. Sorry this has taken so long, but here in New Mexico, wifi signals keep falling out. I think even a bird flying by will disrupt the signal. Now I'm on my old obsolete mac connected to satellite. Hope it works. Below is what I've been doing since graduation in 1967. 1. Attended North Ga. Military College for 2 years. Work at the Atlanta Airport during the summers fueling aircraft. 2. In the fall of 1969 - enlisted in the U.S Coast Guard. First duty station was Apalachicola, Fl.. Tended navigational lights in the region. Went to aircraft maintenance school in Elizabeth City N.C. Was then assigned to helicopter detachments on icebreakers. The SS Glacier to the Arctic and the SS Northwind to Antarctica - 6 months tour each. Visited Lima Peru, Valpariso Chili, New Zealand, Australia, and Hawaii. 3. Worked as an aircraft fueler at the San Francisco airport from 1974 - 1978. 4. In 1978 I signed up as an aircraft mechanic for the Dept. of Defense working at the Naval Aviation Depot in Alameda, Ca. I finished my degree at night at Embry Riddle University at the Depot. I acquired my A & P license and pilot's license as well. I became an aircraft examiner and inspector. I had a clearance to work on highly 'sensitive' aircraft all over the world including Holland, Spain, Portugal, Guam and various locations in the states. Worked, examined, and inspected primarilay P-3's, but did some work on S-3's, C-118's, A-3's, and F-8's. 5. In 1995 the NADEP in Alameda was slated for closure and I was transferred to the NADEP at the Marine Corp air station in Havelock N.C. In NC I examined and inspected CH-53 helicopters and F-4 phantoms that were pulled from the bone yard and converted to drones. 6. I re...Expand for more
tired in 2004 and moved to New Mexico and spend my time gardening and renovating two 50's vintage houses. My adventure days of flying, scuba diving, snow skiing, and world travel are over. It is time to slow down a bit and take my vitamin B-12 and D-3. I don't run anywhere. Anything faster'n a mosey, meander or a shuffle ain't happening. Otherwise, I'm still in pretty good shape. Hope everyone else is too. Paul Henry Update April 03 2021: I added some photos and the book cover of a novel I wrote. You can find it on the big "A" in the book section. April 25 2021 - For those of you who may be interested in seeing where I live (Carrizozo, NM), there have been two movies made here. "The Book of Eli" with Denzel Washington, Mila Kunis, and Gary Oldman. The second is "Wander" with Aaron Eckhart and Tommy Lee Jones. While there are shots made in nearby Nogal, White Oaks, and Ruidoso, both movies were centered here in Carrizozo. Carrizozo is located relatively in south central NM. This region is generally a high desert plateau. The elevation of Carrizozo is over 5,400 feet even though the terrain is flat. However, Ruidoso is located in the Sierra Blanca mountain range and the mountains are visible from Carrizozo so there are some incredible views. The summers are hot though the nights can be rather cool. The temperature difference between night and day can be 30 to 40 degrees. At night the stars are bright and UFO's are very prevalent. The movie "Wander" is a weird conspiracy theory movie, and it fits that it was made here in New Mexico - the land of enchantment. If you like action / adventure / thrillers as well as a few good laughs, check out my book "The Cassandra Event" penned here in the land of enchantment.
