RETIRED NAVY

Welcome to my page on the Web. I retired from the US Navy in 1994, but put my uniform on for a November 1998 Veteran's Day ceremony put on by my son's Air Force Junior ROTC at his High School.




This page is designed to reflect my interests and to provide a handy jumping off spot for those areas that I regularly follow.

US NAVY LINKS: Though retired, I still try to keep up with what the present day warriors are doing. I do miss the Oceans I once traveled and the lands I visited.
