About Me
Blog picture is of the A-6 Intruder. If you like military planes, see my photos. I live in SE Michigan, the only state in a true recession. I was born in Monroe, MI and was raised near by. I spent 6+ years in the Marines. I have had various technical jobs with the past 30+ years being a techical salesman. I was down sized by a German company in August of 07. I am married and have three kids and an old, rescued Dalmatian. The kids have all made it through college. In order, they attended Rochester Institute of Tech., George Washigton and the University of Kansas. We lived in Cincinnati for almost 20 years which is where the kids were raised. I'd go back there in an eye wink.
