Left Saigon in 1969 and joined the Coast Guard in the Marine Inspection and Environmental safety program.

Retired in 1993 and commenced teaching Navy JROTC at Mooseheart H S (private school run by the Moose Fraternity.) I did professional marine yacht surveys for insurance, prospective buyers etc and consulting on marine casualties and oil spill and chemical response plans. This was what I did while in the Coast Guard. We moved to Bradenton in 2001 where I am mostly retired. I do maintain a practice in the yacht survey business as an Accredited Marine Surveyor and consult around the country on legal cases involving marine accidents. Otherwise, play a lot of golf and put in 5-6 miles a day on my bike. I like to cook too. Specialty is Oriental and Cajun with a dash of down home meatloaf and spaghetti on occasion. 2016: Still doing a little yacht survey, but business has been slow due to the economy. I don't mind as work around the house and golf keep me going. I enjoyed re-connecting at the 50th. Many thanks to Jack and Jim for all your work and especially with the website. As of last December, I fully retired from the marine survey business and gave up my professional credentials. Business had been real slow this past year and I was investing more than taking in. Anyway, the end of an era. Now I have more time for golf, bike trips and leisurely walks on the beach. I got hooked on bread making (the old fashioned way, no machine). That hasn't done anything good for our waistlines!!
