Carl ( Buddy )'s Story
There is really not much to say...ha! Why so many people that don't know me are so interested. But I do understand, I get curious about some of you too. Anyway, I was brought up in Roxbury, MA the first ten years of my life, than we moved to Dorchester, MA. I was really quit the screw up as a kid. Never did well in school. I guess I thought I was to Cool for school. In the Fifties it was really a completely differant world. Music was great; Dances (I went to all) and really not the pressure that most kids have today. I moved to California after meeting my Father (for the first time) that was Christmas of 1961. In February 1962 I went into the Army. All I can say about that is -- it was quit a growing up experience. Vietnam was a real factor there. But I survived 21 months of that and did my last 6 months in Ft. Hood, Texas then got out.

of total retirement. My kids are grown up and have kids of their own and my wife and I of 33 years are trying to settle down to it but my wife is very sick with Chronic Pancreatitus which she's had since she too was ing the Army back in 1991. Except it was Desert Storm and she was an Officer/RN Nurse. Otherwise we're making it. I spent a lot of years in education. I think I was trying to make up for my youth. Right now I'm thinking of getting involved in Criminal Profiling - (volunteer that is.) Anyway, that's about it. It really is quit boring. I loved what I was doing, wheather a Chief or an Officer, the job never got boring. But now, I can just sit back and remember! I hope. Thank you all for your interest in me and for being friends to a stranger.
