After leaving ITR, I went to 1st Marines,
1st Marine Division, which
traveled to Southeast Asia, Borneo, etc. Was based on Okinawa.
I think
we were the ones that started the vertical assault via helicopters.
We
were stationed on the USS Thetis Bay, a jeep helicopter carrier.
We made
assaults then returned to the ship. It was known for its great
list to
port.
After leaving active duty, I had a football
scholarship waiting
for me at UCLA. I hold a doctorate in Behavioral Psychology.
I also
attended chef's school and owned my own restaurant. This paid
off my
student loans. I was in private practice for 25 years. This included
a
short stint with the Sheriffs office, DEA Division. In 1993,
I was
found to have MS, this caused my early retirement. Then Prostrate
surgery
due to cancer.
My wife Caroline and I just celebrated
43 years of marriage, we have 3
children, 4 grandchildren, and 2 greatgrandchildren.
