Welcome to
My World...Who Am I?
WHO AM I:
I was born in
Cincinnati and have lived within 35 miles of the Downtown
area. With exception of while I served in the Navy, where I
lived in the Tidewater Area of Virginia and Pearl City, Hawaii. That
was until 2020, when I moved to Florida.
I
now live in the Indian River Colony Club in Viera, Florida.
I am a
Born Again Christian and have been saved for over 50 years.
Although from about 16 until I got out of the Navy, I was not living
the life I should. Luckily, thanks to my Uncle Lee's
invitation to go to church with him, I found a great church and grew
as a Christian. I am nowhere near where I should be, but with the
Grace of Christ, I am moving in the right direction (most of the
time).
I served
in the US Navy as an ICman aboard the submarine, USS Los Angeles. I
am member of several veterans groups and was the Base Commander for
the United States Submarine Veterans / Cincinnati Base. Since
moving to Florida, I am now a member of the Snug Harbor Base.
I was involved in the
Boy Scouts for over 34 years. During that time, I earned my
Woodbadge Beads (Bobwhite), served as Scoutmaster including starting
a Troop in Oxford, Ohio (Troop 937), also I am a Vigil member of the
Order of the Arrow. I also was the Den Leader for my
grandson's Cub Scout Den. I am no longer involved in the Scouting
Program because the BSA and I do not agree on the direction it is
headed. I was trained with the attitude that "it's all about
the Boys." Today's BSA believes it all the money and Political
Correctness. The BSA has been around for over 100 years, I
don't see it making another 25 years.
My biggest hobby is
Amateur Radio (Amateur Extra-K8SSN). I am a Past President and
present Board member of the Greater Cincinnati Amateur Radio
Association. I am also involved as a Volunteer Examiner for the ARRL
and the Laurel Amateur Radio Club.
Well that is probably more than you really wanted
to know and about as much I am willing to tell. If I told you
more, than it could be exaggerated and turned into gossip.
