Move to Alaska-Day 4
On the 4th day of my trip to Alaska, I began at the Hill Aerospace Museum at Hill Air Force Base and filmed my video in front of the WW2-era chapel: . .

With one day complete, here is the video beginning the 2nd day of my journey to Fort Wainwright, Alaska. . .
Move to Alaska-Day 1
I’ve started my “adventure” to Alaska. Here is the video beginning my first day of travel, as I PCS (Permanent Change of Station) to Fort Wainwright. . .
Why You’re Being Deleted
I remember being shocked when Barrack Obama won his first term as president, fully believing that the Republican nominee would win (just as I was shocked when the Republican won in our most recent Presidential election). My pastor at the time suggested my surprise was a result of having only friends, and reading/listening only to commentators, whose views aligned only […]
Beverly Hills Supper Club Fire
I was just 14 at the time, but remember there was more to the fire than the news was reporting. I could sense my mother was more troubled than news of a random fire just south of our home in Cincinnati would produce, but my questions didn’t get many immediate answers. Later, the news would […]
Dad’s Funeral: Sorrow & Celebration

Why Am I Alive?
I sit here tonight crying, grieving really. The odd thing is that my breakdown was triggered by the death of someone I don’t even know. But it could have been me. Maybe it should have been me. About seven weeks ago I was in a rollover car accident. People on the scene, the emergency room doctor […]
