I'm From Brooklyn Heights NY, born in Manhattan NY. I Joined the Women Army Corps in 1969. In 1979 the WAC was deactivated and spent the rest of my time in the regular army retired 14 1/2 yrs service as a E7 SFC Combat Medic .I served during the VietNam Era.

I received a medical honorable discharge in 1984 due to a back injury I had while stationed in Germany 1972. I graduated from Texas A&M VET school in 1984,moving on to other interest. After many years dealing with the VA I'm now at 100 %.

I have been doing genealogy since 2005, after finding my own family with the help of my genealogy group from PA (Luzerne connections) I started out here in SD as a photo volunteer, then moved on to photographing Veterans graves, later I photographed entire cemetery's. Wood Lawn, Hills Of Rest, St Michaels and some of Mount Pleasant.

I will remove any or all memorials when requested by family. the cemetery office has nothing to do with findagrave, contact me direct.

please review findagrave rules for posting obits/photos. photos from other websites. Biographical info is not allowed. Just go over all rules to make sure you can post items. NO CONFERATE FLAGS ALLOWED PER FG. OR ANY MILITAY INFO ON VETERAN FLOWERS, MILITARY INFO, IT CAN BE POSTED IN THE BIO SECTION. These are things FG told me.

I will never tell a FG member how they should write up their memorial, you do yours your way and I will do mine the way I want. There are some people who think their way is the only way and just don't get it.

Any questions, contact [email protected]

If there is a issue with my memorial, click on EDIT SUGGESTION and schroll down to CONTACT MANAGER, leave your message there, I'll get the entire memorial link.

I'am not a numbers or collector of memorials. I actually go to the local cemetery's photographing headstones. I do this so family searching for their loved ones will find something, just one headstone with information can lead to others. Veterans are my main goal to search. So don't put other FG members in that numbers BS.

NOTE FROM FINDAGRAVE; If you transfer a memorial and that person is inactive for 1 year it goes back to findagrave to maintain, but you have the option to reclaim, also if you are inactive they can take all of yours to maintain,
