My life in a nutshell.
After high school, I served 4 years in the military, where I went to Europe for 3 years. Instead of coming home when I was on leave, I traveled to all the countries there. I had a great time & learned about the different cultures in the different countries. When I returned I met, and married my beautiful wife Marietta, a New Yorker. She is a loving caring career woman that I love today as the first day I met her. She is tough, feisty and will not take guff from anyone, but what would one expect from a New Yorker? We were blessed with three beautiful daughter’s , whom have shown me the real meaning of love. My youngest daughter Melissa, disliked High School like me, instead of taking a negative approach, like me, she decided to get it over with, and she graduated from Desert Vista High School in 3 years. She is now a junior at NAU “Northern Arizona University “, working on a duel major. My middle child, Amanda, graduated from Arcadia High School where she was captain of their state champion high school soccer team and she was elected the Prom Queen of her Senior class. She is now a certified/licensed real estate agent and is working on finishing her bachelor’s degree. She is married and her husband’s parents ironically are also Coronado alumni, (small world). My oldest Tanya also graduated from Arcadia High School. She came down with medical issues in her late teens, which has halted from pursuing higher education, but she is a fighter! A few years later she became pregnant, was told by many doctors to have a abortion or chances were she would not survive the pregnancy or there would be severe problems with the baby. She refused to listen to the Dr’s , I am happy to say she is doing fine & I am a Grandfather of healthy, beautiful & highly intelligent granddaughter. I am so proud of my daughter’s pro life values. Getting to me, I helped build a thriving Aero Space Business for over 27 years when I returned from the military, which we sold for a tidy sum I my add. I retired for a couple years, got bored & went into retail management for 5 years. Then I returned to Aero Space where I am working today. I am presently attending MCC “Mesa Community College” to learn Web Design. I am building a web site called hoabillboard.com. It is being developed presently, but when it is finished maybe some of you will add your H.O.A. stories. I am restoring a old 1965 Ford Galaxy 500 for those who can appreciate old cars. I love going on long bike rides on my motorcycle. As you can see life is good & I have been blessed in many ways. The pictures are my wife & I in Alaska when we went on our Alaskan Cruise.
