                 WOW, I can't believe I found this site! Great idea. After graduating in 1977, I joined the

                 Armed Forces....US Navy.  I completed my BS in Nursing at Western Carolina University

                 on a Navy scholarship. It was there that I met my wife, Cindy, and we now have two

                 boys(Chris & Alex). I anticipate retiring from the military the summer of 2000 and settling

                 in Highlands, NC. Still get back to Valdosta every now and then to see family and stir up

                 some old ghost.

                 children.  Shanna,18 - Brent,11 - Kaylee,8.  We are still married and plan to grow old

                 together.  We have had decent lives even though we have lived through much heart ache

                 with our first born,Shanna, being born severely handicapped and spending most of her life

                 in hospitals fighting for her life.  We live with nursing care in the home for her part-time so

                 we can keep her at home with the family.  Richard has his own home repair business and

                 works part-time as a hunting guide (which he loves ). I worked for a local bank here in

                 Valdosta for 26 years until new Corporate America management let me go to keep from

                 having to pay for my handicapped child and my soon coming up retirement from

                 spent about a dozen years as a Coast Guard aviator..still in the Reserves...just spent 8

                 months at Guantanamo Bay. Have worked in/around the oil industry for the last dozen or
