Retired in March 2008 - rehabed the home in Vancouver, WA (yes, there are two Vancouvers - I'm living in the one across the Columbia River from Portland, OR). SPent 2 1/2 years working in Saudi Arabia. Returned home and went back to school (have an MBA degree - emphasis in Health Care Management) Been working for a local school district for a while. Have learned how to appreciate life, especially since our time here on this Big Blue Marble is so limited.

OK - someone is gonna ask..."Chris, why are there two American Flags on the map"? Well the reason for that is that I've been to WAKE ISLAND...the C-141 had to make a stop at that scenic beacon in the middle of the Pacific (#3 engine shut down midway between Guam and Hawaii)..."Where America's Day Starts" is on the wall at the terminal (sorry, Guam). There are more birds on the island than people (scientists reside on the island). Got to see remnants of the Marines defense of the island during the opening days of WWII...brave men doing a difficult job. It was memorable, almost humbling visit...
