His father was a member of the United States Coast Guard and his mother proudly identified herself as a housewife and mother of five children. He lived in Galveston, Texas and Pascagoula, Mississippi during World War II, and attended school in these locations, graduating from High School in Pascagoula and attending two years at Perkinston Junior College, Mississippi. After Junior College, he served in the United States Air Force for seven years in the Administrative Career Field and was discharged as a Staff Sergeant Administrative Supervisor. Upon returning to civilian life, he became an employee at Ingalls Shipbuilding Corporation, located in his home town of Pascagoula and through the years worked in several Administrative and Design disciplines in Engineering. After 31 plus years of shipbuilding service he retired. Within two months he became employed by CDI Marine, an Engineering Design and Services subcontractor that serviced Ingalls Shipbuilding. He retired as a Project Engineer ten years later. His education, life experiences and extensive travels in addition to many unusual employment opportunities have caused this 73 year old to look back on his life and readily proclaim that the numerous unique experiences, loving family members, special friends, and loved ones most definitely made the trip worthwhile.view less
