About Me

Not m uch to tell...too old, too poor, and too trusting!I've always loved the adrenaline rush of dispatching at my jobs, both aircraft emergencies and 911. Forced to retire in 2003 because I was dx with myasthenia gravis, a rare neuromuscular disease, which is at the opposite end of the spectrum for the requirements of a dispatcher. I miss it a lot. I guess that's why I keep this page. It keeps me young at heart. My life isn't over...it's just different!
