Out of 30 years service, I spent half of the time either in the Seabees or in direct Seabee support. Upon retirement, I quit earning money and began the real work of playing tennis, snow skiing, and attempting to improve my golf game. Also a bit of traveling. At 70 years, traveling, playing with my computer and golf are my main occupations. My partner in life is Charlotte. We celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary on 30 Jan, 2004.
