I am a 60 year old white male who decided to retire because work was no challenge and I wished to see the world. So I retired. I went back to work for a few years between 1999 and 2001 because I was needed. I have a background like no other person I have ever known and that is the way it should be. For everyone is different. This world would be very boring if we were all the same!
My favorite hobby is flying, I fly helicopters. I learned to fly in the Army in 1966 and flew Cobras in Vietnam. I was wounded twice in Nam and shot down twice. I spent a year and a half in the hospital and because of that war I need a wheelchair to get around. Yes, I still have my pilots license, I am able to walk and use my legs so the FAA has no reason to take it from me. I am just not able to use my legs well anymore. I left the Army Reserve as a full Colonel and I am extremely proud of my service to my country.
I spent my working life figuring out how the Universe works and I have found that there is so much beauty in the Universe. I have dreamed of being able to visit every planet in every solar system in every galaxy in our Universe. I have asked both the big and small questions and I still search for the answers.
I enjoy camping, hiking, fishing and most things that have to do with the outdoors. I have a beautiful half Lab half Golden Retriever that is with me all the time. She is my SERVICE DOG and I would never be without her. If you wish to know more about her read my blog on Treasures Story. After you do you will understand that she is a very special dog, very special indeed.
One of the things I do that gives me great pleasure and relaxation is building dollhouses. I do find it interesting that I went from working on the problems of the Universe to working out what piece of a dollhouse goes where.
If there is anything you would like to know about me just ask, I might just tell you. I have been both in the Scientific Community and the Military Community and I look at the world differently than most people! I also know that I prefer a world at peace and I hope someday it will be that way. Some say I am a dreamer but I do dream of a time when all humans live together in peace and understanding.
May we put aside all our differences and join in saving our beautiful Earth! Not only because we have nowhere else to go but because it is the right thing to do!
