I retired in 1997 from the Navy under the TERA program just after 17 years. Worked for the for the City of Va Beach, Virginia until Fibromyalgia & chronic pain did me in. Moved back to Ohio... I am a DAV member now, and spend time being Auntie Pam (and Grandma Pammy) and travel, camp and indulge in amateur photophagry when my body allows. I live with family... and my canine companions who provide comfort to my soul...surrounded by a countryside with lakes, Amish and a nature sanctuary in my backyard. Truely a blessing in disguise.
