About Me

Born in Melrose Park, Illinois. I graduated from Glenbard West HS in 1961. I found my way to Southern Illinois University and almost never left. Of course back then, us guys had The Draft hanging over our heads. So March of 1966, I was drafted. I spent two years in the infantry and all of 1967 in Viet Nam. The most exciting year of my life. Everything since then has seemed pretty easy. Somehow, I managed two R & R's, so I visited Tokyo and Hong Kong.Lived in Illinois til 1983. Then we ventured west to Colorado. We love Colorado, the climate, the people and all the outdoor activities..r{}
