Born an Army brat, enlisted in the USAF in 1970 (worked Avionics on RF-4C, T-29, KC-135, B-52G & H, F-4E, F-16 & F-15 AIS & AIS Mobile Facility Program), married in 1975 (all of our kids have had four legs and tails :-)...dogs, horses, cats), retired from the USAF in 1991. Worked in Manufacturing for the next 23 years in mainly Production Scheduling, retired from that in 2014. My best friend, my wife, passed away in 2015, two weeks short of our 40th anniversary. I believe that God does always answer our prayers...it's just that sometimes the answer is "No". Not really sure what comes next, but will will make the best of it...and now I'll do it here in WA.

UPDATE 2020:

“What comes next”…boy, what a phrase.  I’ve moved to Florida (with three of my “kids”, Sherrill, Andy and Jack–Sherrill, however passed away the day after Thanksgiving, 2019), am engaged, bought a house with my fiance. She is the love of my life...I am truly, truly blessed with “What comes next”!!!

I have been away from this purpose for a while, but am ready to continue my contributions to the “e”-world via Wealthy Affiliate, so here goes, slowly, while working through all the things necessary with a new house...address changes, where to put just about everything, TV/Internet connection, security, new fence, irrigation, landscaping...the list goes on, amid the world-wide Corona virus Pandemic.

As I said, I am truly blessed, and wish good health and safe travels to you all.
