Autobiography of a Naval Career

About me (us)!

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 here to read a few of my poems.
