I joined the Navy right out of high school and went in on a "kiddie cruise".   Went to boot camp in July 1958 at San Diego and from there to Corps school as well in San Diego.  After Corps school I went to Oak Knoll hospital in Oakland and from there to Bremerton where I got out in July 1961.
 
After the Navy I went back home to Cedar Rapids , Iowa and drove ambulance until March of 62.  I then drove a Pepsi truck until 1968 when I went on the Marion Iowa police department.  In 1974 I went to work for an insurance company in the medical claims department.  I also went on the volunteer fire department and spent 8 years on the city council until the insurance company transferred us to Atlanta  and then to Dallas -Fort Worth
 
In 1994 I started an insurance brokerage in the Long Term Care and Medicare Supplement market in the State of Texas.from which I retired in 2007.
 
My wife Kathy and I have 3 grown children , 5 grandchildren and 1 great grandson
