I graduated from Gaithersburg High School, Gaithersburg, Maryland
in 1959 and joined the Navy. Following boot camp at Great Lakes, IL and
attending Aviation Electronics School in Memphis, TN, I returned home
and married my high school sweetheart, Barbara, on June 19, 1960. I have
never regretted either one of those events.
We have two sons that we are extremely proud of, Joe and
John. Joe is a Senior Engineer with Comcast and Dr. John is currently a
Navy Commander in the Medical Corps.
We love our family, church, friends, and military veterans and
we love dogs. I also love to tell sea stories about my Naval career as
well as to write patriotic poetry. Click
