This was taken from my Facebook Profile
I was born of my father's third marriage to a "trophy wife" in 1948.
In 1951, thanks to the Korean War, went to the South Seas to live in American Samoa where my father was Chief of Dentistry for the South Pacific.
In 1953 my mother decided to become another of Dad's ex-wives and she moved back to Chicago where my sister and I lived with my Grandfather, Dr.Joseph Hubbell in the Bohemian rich area of Hyde Park. Just a few blocks from where Obama lived before he became President.
In 1958 I went to live with my father and his fourth wife, the royal princess of the Samoan Islands, as we moved deep into Mexico. We lived there for a year and a half and then moved to Escondido where I graduated from high school. I then entered the Navy to continue my many travels.
I graduated from Nuclear Power School in 1969 and was twice in the Viet Nam War and twice in Europe before leaving the Navy and starting College. I married while in college and graduated from San Diego State in 1977, ten years after I graduated from Escondido High School.
Because of a Recession and a wife and two children to support and no real jobs available, I reentered the Navy as a Naval Officer and served six more years before leaving to take a management job with Pacific Bell (Now AT&T). I worked there for 17 years, made a million dollars and then retired at the age of 52. I am now writing books for the fun of it. Note, I do not claim to be a great writer. I just write. If people like what I have written, that is good. If they don't that is OK with me, too. I will try harder next time to please them.
In my life, I have been a Lifeguard, Plumber, Carpenter, Cement Finisher, Salesman, Electrician, Sailor, Nuclear Reactor Plant Operator, Naval Officer, Nuclear Weapons Manager, Teacher, Main Frame Computer Operator, Data Communications Statewide Manager, Novelist and Telephone Line Repairman. I have reinvented myself over and over and over again while raising 30 children.

Welcome aboard. You have already made waves... Well, I see "you know who" found a hole to worm his way back in. And to think Dredd found such instant camaraderie and solidarity with "you know who." Who would have thunk?

Hey, just being a welcoming moderator, giving someone the benefit of the doubt. Always a gamble, and sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.
