 Additional Information
What are you doing now:

Living in Tin Town (Polk County) Missouri right now. Enjoying Retirement. Still like working on older cars/trucks. Spend most of my day playing games on facebook. As weather permits I enjoy working outside doing whatever needs to be done. Staying active is number one priority!!! keep an eye on TWS to see if any of the old shipmates have joined and chat with the ones I remember from all the duty stations I was stationed. Have a GREAT LIFE Shipmates!!!
