Grew up in East Harftford, CT. Joined the usmc in Nov. of 1966. Went through boot camp at Parris Island, SC. Spent Dec. 10th, 67 through Oct.68 in
Vietnam. Was stationed with macs-4 atop Monkey
Mountain. Got out of the corps in April of 69. Moved to Colorado Springs, CO. in 1971. Lived in West Yellowstone,MT. from April of 75 to June of 82.
Then lived in Sheriden, Wy. from June of 82 untill
May of 1991. Lived in Island Park, ID. from that time untill Nov. of 93 when I moved to Helena, MT.
Went back to Sheriden for awhile and then back to East Helena,MT. in April of 1997. Met my future wife in Wolf Creek,MT. in Nov. of 97, moved here to Great Falls, Mt in Jan. of 1999. We own our home. My wife is a coder at the local hosptial, and about six years ago I began playing golf again....Expand for more
I had played golf in high school, and had also began playing the drums back in 1962. After I got back from vietnam I was in no mood or conditon to play golf or drums. I had begun with the drums again in 1991 and for the next ten years I actually accomplished quite alot. But then started having back problems and pains in the ass from "guitar stars". Jazz, blues, and older rock AND roll cats are a different breed than these one dimisional rock ego pickers. Out on the course, all I have to deal with is me and the golf game I'm playing, and not the bandstand and the ego's that are being played instead of the music. All in all, and considering some of the things I went through and have had to overcome, like Joe Walch says, "life's been good to me". God bless.
