I joined the Air Force in 1976 and also have been in the Army and Army National Guard. In 1993, I was finally able to graduate college at Enid, Oklahoma after accumulating college courses here and there over 12 years mostly when in the service. In 1999, I semi-retired with a little over 20 years service. I am presently a guide at Hoover Dam but have also served as a garage ticket taker and Visitor Use Assistant over the span of 14+ years. I have liked to read many books over the years and decided to finally try to write one because of the challenge. Even if it is not monetarily successful just to overcome the challenge of telling a story for others to read about is very satisfying. I retired in 2014 from the government and I am disabled.view less
