Life Well, to start with I am originally from Lakewood, CA and only lived there for 7 years. Afterwards, my family moved to Simi Valley, CA. I still have many friends in both places and try to keep in touch. After high school, my parents forced me to join the U.S. Air Force two days after graduation. I lived in Washington, D.C., San Antonio, TX, and then back to Simi Valley, CA. I was married twice with the second marriage still growing strong. I have four children (his, hers & ours).

I have very fond memories of most of everybody from there. I hope you all that read this is doing well!
