I am a retired member of the US Armed Forces with service in the Marines and Army as a combat engineer, mine warefare and explosives engineer, and a number of other jobs and have survived 3 wars. Through my service I have lived in or visited over 20 countries many of which were enjoyable experiences. I have degrees in electronics and industrial engineering. At present I live in Tennessee with my wife and 4 cats, all of whom are strange in the way cats normally are. My wife is also strange in the way women normally are. I have successfully survived marraige for 45 years. My five sons also live in Tennessee.
I have loved reading and writing since I discovered words were not bug marks on books. It is only recently, after retiring, that I have found the time to actually do any writing for myself. All of it up to this point has been for someone else including Army training and technical manuals, a couple of engineering books that were company related and a few poems that never actually went anywhere. I plan to do much more of this putting words to paper thing. Or electrons to net since that seems to be the way things are going.
