Jon's Story

After leaving the range in 1982, I worked for 27 years for the VA in Kansas City, MO, as a critical care RN. 12 hour nights the whole time. Night nurses are a little loony...but the ICU is a fairly controlled environment and I loved the hours of boredom and moments of sheer terror that I had all those years. I worked with an amazing group of nurses and I miss them more than anything. I had two children, a boy and a girl, with my ex, Plaintiff. My son is married and lives in the twin cities metro. He's a professional pilot and in the FAA's ATC program. My daughter is married and lives in Pretoria, South Africa. I met my current wife in 2006 and we've been married since 13OCT07. She has two adult children, both boys. Dawn works for an agency that works with mentally challenged adults, and is an EMT. She still hopes to eventually get her PhD in Neuropsych Trauma. I became ill and had to retire in 2009 with a terminal lung disease...it's now in remission but I can't be around really sick people (ICU) or I might get r...Expand for more
eally sick and induce 'the big sleep'. I was ordained to Holy Orders in the Episcopal Church in 2003 and am presently assigned to historic Trinity Church in Independence, MO, where I serve as deacon-to-the-parish; I preach twice a month and do outreach to the poor and needy. My mother died on Christmas Day 2010. It was my honor, as her son, to anoint her with last rites and pray for her immediately after she died. Dawn and I took my 89 year old father home to the range in May of 2012. You can't go home again. It was very depressing to see my home town. My highlight was running into Cindy Klaras and the VFW and having a chat with her. I was saddened to visit the cemetery and see how many people I knew who had died since I left there 30 years ago. My father died in October of 2012 and I miss him terribly. In my spare time I love reading history, theology, philosophy, and HP Lovecraft. I am a US Civil War buff, amateur photographer, cemetery lover, and I enjoy doing crossword puzzles in ink.. We have three housecats.
