Currently living in Ohio, I have been something of a gypsy. I have lived in 12 states, visited 49 of the 50, two U.S. territories and 18 foreign countries.
Married (second), I have two adult daughters. I also have a stepson and a stepdaughter, both of whom live in Canada.
I have four grand kids, two granddaughters, a stepgrandaughter and a stepgrandson.
I have been a journalist most of my life. I worked for nearly 30-some odd years for a variety of daily and non-daily newspapers in a wide range of positions, I also have been a "war correspondent" during Operation Just Cause in 1989 and a teacher and instructor. I also have won multiple journalistic awards, both for writing and newspaper design.
A veteran of two combat eras, I served in the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Naval Reserve in the Vietnam Era (but not in Vietnam); and was in the Army National Guard when I was called up for service in the Persian Gulf War, during both Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm where I served as an Army public affairs specialist in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.
I am medically retired from the U.S. Army as a civilian public affairs officer.
