The marriage failed within 2 years, but we had a Daughter named Corrine. She has since grown up and has three kids. I served in the Marine Corps and made it to the rank of Staff Sergeant. I managed a service station after the millitary and learned to fly. Since 1966, I have made my living as a pilot.
I have earned two college degrees (BS degree & Masters degree) in aviation management.
In 1975, I married Penny and we had two daughters. Katheryn passed away in 1986 at the age of 5. We have Karen and she is married with a son, Andrew & a daughter Alyssa..

re I served as Chief Pilot and later, Director (VP) of Operations. We have a place in Florida and one in Colorado. We have now (2008) sold our place in Nevada and will now winter in Florida and spend the summer in Colorado.
It has been a good life, except for loosing our daughter. We hope to have a few more good years. Our interest are Flying, motorcycles, biking, hiking, walking and maybe golfing.
I always wanted to be a Pilot when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a dumb idea. As it turns out, they were wrong. I made a living flying for a living for 41 years. I now fly, for no pay, for the Civil Air Patrol. My wife & I are both Officers in the Air Force Auxiliary. I am Operations Officer & Penny is Admin Officer of Florida 24 Squadron.
