About Me

I entered the Marine Corps when I was just 18 and became disabled due to enemy gun fire which left me parralized. At that time I was engaged to the girl I met when she was 14 years of age & I at 16. when I arrived back to the states and began my discharge from the service my life seemed to turn all upside down but with the help from my doctors,therapists, family & girlfriend, I made a good recovery and began another life with a use of the wheelchair. I worked hard to get back some use of my hands & legs and what I didn't get back I had to adjust to it and go on the best way I could. After being discharged from the VA Hospital, I managed to find work in a Cival Service position from 1974 to 1995 then went to work for a private company until 1998. During that time in my life I married my girlfriend in 1970 and had three lovely children (with the help from specialists) and still married today. At present I am now retired & enjoying each day as it comes.
