I was born in Petaluma, California. I lived in Mineral Wells, Texas in the mid-1950s and have lived in the Atlanta, Georgia area since 1965. I retired as a Delta Air Lines captain in 1990 and enjoy working on my hobbies: Astronomy, Amateur (ham) Radio and Genealogy.

I like adding flowers or icons especially to those who have none. As a former serviceman myself (USAF, 1959-1963), I also try to recognize military service members and thank them for their contribution to preserving our freedom. I have read that less than 5% of those eligible for military service actually serve. May God bless all of them.
