What are you doing now: After leaving the AF and moving to the Panama City, Florida area (Tyndall AFB), over the course of the intervening years, I've worked for AAFES (Class VI Asst. Mgr.), Hughes-Ratheon-Singer-Link (Maintenance on F-15 Simulator), Bay County Utilities (Instrumentation & Control Supervisor), did a term as an elected City Commissioner (City of Springfield, FL). After losing my wife to lung cancer in 2006, I now find myself to be a retired, widowed, 71-year single parent to a 18 & 20 year old.
