Retired effective 1 Feb 2014. Plan to travel,fish,work around the house and visit my grand kids. 2017 still fish and work in my yard . Had to stop travelling on our trike and just sold it . Haven't seen my grand kids in Colorado for three years . Bad feet and knees on many meds , old age sucks !
August 2019 I had a stroke and lost the use of my whole right side and speech . I have come back to getting around without a cane and can talk fairly good . I can drive and do most things only slowly . I am still getting better and feel half normal .

Best Moment Going to the Bob Hope Xmas show at Camp Eagle 1970.Being congratulated on making E6 in Feb 1971.Leaving in Nov 1971 before the Division returned to Ft. Campbell.
Worst Moment When Tom Dolan was shot down and listed MIA when it was KIA but no body! Being told I could not be promoted to E6 as the Army had changed the promotion system effective Jan 1971 and the 101st had not gone to it like they should have. Told that I could not extend as a 11B only if I stayed 84G and went to Thailand.
