Other Comments:
I can say that I enjoyed my 24 years of active duty in the United States Air Force, and would do it all over again. I met and married my wife Laura Tilzey Lawlor while stationed at RAF Fairford during my second overseas tour having received a follow on assignment from Sidi Slimane AB in Morocco, North Africa. Two additional assignments to the UK during my career and many TDYs as well as a year at RTAFB Tahkli, Thailand in support of the war effort in Vietnam.
After my career came to a close I decided to enter Real Estate Sales, and was fortunate to obtain a sales position with the now defunct Design Master Homes located at the time in Phoenix, AZ. From there I got on with Lennar Homes of AZ and soon became the Sales Manager of there Adult Community until I retired from there employ in December 1999.
After being in business for myself for 9 years it is now time to enjoy the twilight years, and traveling is a major part of our plans that will include more Cruise's having done 14 to date and continueing our visits to the UK and other parts of Europe.
