Medically retired US Army Chaplain, Ordained United Methodist Elder (Minister)

Developed my illnesses as a result of exposures most likely during the original Gulf War (1991)

Married to Pat for past 15 years: elderly Mother-In-Law resides with us as does an English Cocker Spaniel, a Cat, and a 35 pound Tortoise

Currently awaiting the possibility of a double Lung Transplant, which would require me moving to San Diego if accepted into their program, while awaiting a new set of lungs.

I enjoy  Model Railroading, tools of all kinds, amateur Astronomy.

I like any color but pink.

Due to the lungs can no longer get to near any strong scents.  But Orange Blossoms, Gardenias and the air after a good rain storm were among my favorites.
