Upon graduation from high school I spent three years in U.S. Marine Corps. 

After boot camp came eighteen weeks of radio/telegraph operaters school in

San Diego, CA which prepared me for working in communications centers in

Iwakuni, Japan and Camp LeJeune, NC for the remainder of my tour of duty.

I returned to Ann Arbor and found a job with a healthcare data processing

company where I learned to program computers which is what I did until I 

decided to retire at the end of 2007. I got married in Jan. 1967 and we

had a son and daughter that we raised in Ann Arbor. Our marriage fell apart

and when I got remarried, my wife, Colleen and I moved to Pinckney, MI. 

We eventually decided that we were tired of all the snow and cold of winter

so we bought a lot in golf and boating community and had a house built 

in Vonore, TN.

My two children and four grandchildren live in Ann Arbor and Brighton so

I get up there for visits a couple times a year and they come down here a

couple of time a year.
