About Us

Who are we and why this website?

My wife and I are just ordinary folk who live ordinary lives. We have one wonderful, loving daughter.

We have both spent most of our late teens, and adult lives working to make a living. We have both experienced the high and lows of good jobs, and not so good jobs, some with good hours and decent pay, as well as some with long days and not so much pay. And we have been affected by downsizing, but always managed to land on our feet. We may not be wealthy monetarily, but we are rich with memories, freinds, and knowing that every bit of what we have ever had was earned with good ol' hard work!

After four years service in the Navy during the mid to late 60's, I've done everything from pumping gas (back in the days when 'service stations' actually provided service), to engineering designing, buidling, and traveling the world installing, aricraft engine component test equipment.

My wife has picked fruit and vegetables, and worked as a property manager, and other jobs in between.

Thankfully, we are now both retired, just working for ourselves, but the way things are going, that could change.

We are both proud and thankful for the members of the armed forces, who have written a blank check for this country, and do what little we can voluteering for non-profit veterans groups that serve them.

On my own time, I am, and have been, a co-webmaster for a few non-profit veterans organizations. I am mostly self taught, with some help from the real webmaster of the DD950 web site.

This website is mainly for family and friends, to share our peaceful and happy retirement days out here away from the crowd.

Oh! - by the way - though I do have recommendations to a few free websites in the credits page, I am in no way affiliated with them. I don't do this for profit, just the challenge, and joy of it, and believe it or not, the relaxation I get, when I immerse myself in a task. You will find no links to paypal on these pages.
