I'm retired from the U.S. Air Force with 20 years of proud service maintaining the electronic defenses on B-52 and B-1B bombers. I've been married for 48 years and we had 2 grown child and have 4 beautiful grandsons from our daughter; Jacob, Daniel, and twins Aaron and Michael.

Our son Scott, my sidekick in our explorations, died of cancer a while back at the age of 37. He battled this horrible disease for almost three years and we had hoped the chemo might keep him going. His death took a lot out of me and this hobby.

Although I don't get out to the cemeteries much anymore I still try to manage what I've added. I have a particular interest in ensuring all Veterans are honored here.
