Since retiring from the Navy, I have been employed with the Virginia Beach Sheriff's Office. I am a senior Booking Sergeant working in the Intake and Release section of the city jail. I am married to Jackie (shown in the photo above) and we are doing well. Jackie works for the NY Times in the advertising department (in Norfolk) and we try to travel each year for our own "Adventure". Last year was a Caribbean cruise (in the Spanish Main). We will visit our Nation's Capital and enjoy the monuments, the Smithsonians, and the other sites this year.

My very best to all my former shipmates and friends. Dan
