Gregory's Story
Life
This is for those one or two people who actually care about what I've been up to for the past 30 years. I hope you'll write something too...
Left for Orange County, California in 1976...did odd jobs, spent a lot of time at the beach. Got a job singing in a band--enjoyed small fame in Orange County, got tired of it.
Resisted a long while but I finally enlisted in US Air Force, 1985. Planned to stay 4 years but did 20...just retired with honorable discharge March, 2005. Spent 11 years overseas in Japan and Okinawa. Finally got married (at 30) to an island girl, got 2 great kids: daughter in Air Force, son in HS. Enjoyed an assignment at Edwards AFB, Ca in the 1275th for the C-17 from first flight through operational test and evaluation. If you've seen the movie The Right Stuff then maybe you saw the house I lived in, for it was filmed on lo...Expand for more
cation at Edwards in the now-demolished south-end family housing "Area P."
See, I was watching that movie at my friend's house in Laguna--before I joined the AF--and I saw that scene where they're bar-b-queing in the back yard with Chuck Yeager...(you know the part?) And I thought, "Man, that is where I want to be!" Within a few years I was living exactly right there, on that base, in that housing area next door to where the movie was filmed. Countless experiences like this have confirmed a merciful Higher Power always at work in my life. "Some call it imagination; some call it God." This Is my four leaf clover.
If I've had any success, it's only because God was there guiding every step..."turn here, look there...buy this, sell that..."
Precious Father of Infinity,
You're not alone...I live for Thee!
