Places I've been

Grew up in Nevada and Los Angeles county, escaped from LA by going into the Army and Vietnam. I have lived in Califonia,Oregon,and Nevada my whole life. I was married 28 wonderful years to Teri until her most unfortunate and untimely death in June 2006.We had bought a little 20' RV that Teri called our "Rolling Bedroom" on my birthday in 1996. For ten years we traveled 142,000 miles around most the dirt back roads of the six western states where we collected rocks. Sold her crafts and jewelry. And met interesting people here and there, until the accident in 2006. That ended a most aweswome part of my life in my marriage and love to Teri and all our adventures. I hope to find that dream again.... I love being father, grandfather,brother, uncle, grt.uncle, and friend and mentor to many. Pray for our troops...
