 Additional Information
What are you doing now:

I retired April 1,2006 from Merck@Co.Inc as a chemical operator with 35 years 9 months of service.My wife and I are now taking care of my in-laws.We also enjoy playing the slots when time permits.Updated as of 7/18/09 we are now just taking care of my father-in-law.Mother-in-law bled to death when a laser nicked the back of her heart during a minor pacemaker adjustment operation. Update- last night 11/13/2013 my wife Brenda lost her Dad. Will be a rough trip from here on out.

I also spend a lot of time on web searching for old army friends. Most of whom I have found by way of zaba search.
