Born May 4, 1948 in West Chester, Pa.; lived in Chester County for twelve years; moved to Susquehanna County where I still reside today. Attended West Chester State for one year (3.5 GPA), disliked it and volunteered for the draft. Drafted into the Army in June of 1967, trained as medic 91A10. Had orders to go to Germany as a medic or flight school. I chose flight school and in October 1968 found myself "across the pond." After a year there, I went to Germany until the rift ushered me out in August 1971. Was married 7 years and divorced - two sons. Later I remarried 22 years so far - four stepdaughters. I enjoy the company and closeness of 16 grandchildren. Worked for Procter & Gamble for 25 years and retired in 1997. I now work community projects, charity work and am preparing to run for County Commissioner in the 2007 Republican primary. I am an idealist who has not yet lost all his naiveté. |
