 Additional Information
What are you doing now:

Enjoying retired life in Oregon. I work in my garden. I have twenty fruit trees,blueberrys,raspberry,marionberrys and a large vegetable garden, all fenced in to keep deer out. Our home  is on the beautiful Mckenzie River.  I enjoy fishing;Trout,Steelhead Trout, and Salmon all on this river. Also, a few miles up river there are lots of rapids for whitewater rafting, (class three) All the water comes from the three Sister mountains in the Cascades.  Seventy miles east  from here If you like to ski only hour away. Bend OR, is only 110 mile east . I also like Oregon ( DUCK s) football and track, Eugene is Track town USA. Lots of stars came from University of Oregon.The Olympic trials have been held here many times.
We like to travel. You would think I would be tired of traveling after 26 years of AF life. and 17 years of being overseas. We own a RV so in the summer months we go camping with Good Sam friends. Lots of nice places out here in the western US to camp.
.The VA takes care of all my medical needs. I'm 100% service connected disabled. Uncle Surgar is great. What a wonderful country we live in. We have so much to be thankful for. No other country in the world takes care of its Vets like ours. God Bless USA

coolI spent my entire career in Air Transportation. Lots  of fond memories and events over the years. Have many stories and pictures of some of these places.(check it out)
 I really loved serving in the Air Force. I sure do miss it at times. What a great life of 26 yrs active.The majority of those years were overseas ( 17 ).Many of the people I served with I can hardly remember. We seem to enjoy serving  all together.  Send me a message if you would like to reminisce the old times we shared together, I would love to hear from you...Aim Hi..Bob
