 Additional Information
What are you doing now:

I retired from OHSU in April 2015. Was thinking about doing traveling work but at age 65, I just did not have it in me to do that. Will be working part time but not at OHSU due to it receiving retirement pay from there. Also going to play more golf as there are two golf courses with a half mile from us.

Volunteer at Portland, Oregon USO three times a week to keep busy and to get out of the house. Have also been volunteering with Homes for Our Troops and Wounded Warriors projects in the Portland area.

   
Other Comments:

Like sleeping in, but I am working in our yard everyday and doing things like going to nurseries, and just enjoying not working full time.

Memories For This Unit

Best Friends

HMC Fred Adamson, HMC Daryl Hatt, HM2 Bob Scott, HM2 Dave Sylvester, HM2 Jeff Mundell,         Dr Chuck O'Dell LCDR,                             Capt Ira Woodstein, HM3 Cass Hoffman, HM3 Janice Ace, and HM3 Brian Grosch.

Best Moment
My entire tour was great! Guam is the best overseas duty stations in the Navy. If I ever have the chance, I would go back in a heart beat

   

Worst Moment
Leaving Guam

Chain of Command

Other Memories
R&R in Saipan, Trips to Tinian, Ponape, Palau, and many of the islands in Micronesia and Marshall Islands. Also being in Saipan on R&R and running into our ENT surgeon who asked me to take x-rays on some patients. This was an entire weekend of work and never did get to do anything on my own. My CO went to COMNAV Marianas and had my entire trip refunded then had another R&R two weeks later in Saipan paid by my command.
