 Additional Information
What are you doing now:

Spent the mid-90s into the early part of this century working in community newspapers in and around Kansas City, MO, where my first wife settled with my two daughters. Seven years ago I began self-publishing a monthly newspaper for the Kansas City Irish-American community, Heart of America Irish Life.  In September, 2002, I lost control of Irish Life in a business dispute. In January, 2003, I launched a new monthly,  Midwest Irish Focus ,for the Irish-American communities of the midwestern states of Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, lower Illinois, Arkansas and Oklahoma. By June, 2003, Heart of America Irish Life ceased to publish. Also a member of the American Irish Media organization, which includes similar publications in Los Angeles and San Francisco, Denver, Chicago, Columbus (Ohio), Philadelphia, Boston and New York.
Currently living in Jefferson City, MO, to more easily cover events in Kansas City and St. Louis. Veteran of two marriages. Currently too damned busy keeping my business afloat for anything else.

Memories For This Unit

Best Friends
JO3 Brad Stillings, who helped me "cross-deck" from electrician's mate to journalist.

Best Moment
When I was promoted from Fireman to JO3 after being promised by the striker board I could "officially" strike for JO if I somehow managed to pass the JO3 exam.
   

Worst Moment
Period of time when I stood the 04-0800 and 16-2000 watch on the (aft) electrical turbines, worked all day as compartment cleaner and evenings operating the SITE system. Two or thre hours of sleep per night for about a three-month stretch.

Other Memories
Port call in the then-Communist country of Romania during Thanksgiving.
