lived here for over 35 years. I worked 26 years for the Department of the Army and retired for good on 1 November 2016. I have two sons and one daughter and three grandsons and one granddaughter. Unfortunately, my wife passed away suddenly in 2019. We were married for 48 years. She is buried in Arlington National Cemetery where I will eventually join her. I have a Bachelors Degree in Government from the University of Maryland and a Masters in Public Administration from Troy State. All accomplished taking night courses and weekend courses. Thanks Mrs. Bair and Mrs. Mott. Your encouragement got me through a lot..
Semper Fidelis.
