About

24-year US Army retired Intelligence Analyst & Collection Manager! Lived in Germany for 11 years, all but 8 months within an hour of downtown Munich! I was born in New Jersey, but raised in neighboring Pennsylvania. My wife was born in California, but raised in neighboring Oregon. My oldest & youngest children were born in the same hospital in Germany, 13 years apart! While the girls in between were born in Dixie (Georgia & Maryland)! Accounting for everyone involved, I've lived in NJ, PA, GA, MD, NY, LA, Wa, OR & Germany's Rheinland-Pfalz & Bavaria! But I still like most things Philadelphia & Pennsylvania Dutch: like SCRAPPEL, TastyKake, Shoo-fly Pie, the Phillies, Cheesesteaks & Hoagies!

Favorite saying

• "...choose this day which god you will serve....but as for me & my house, we will serve the Lord! Joshua 24:15 "Sein ohne Angst im angesicht eurer Feinde! Tapfer sein und aufrecht so dass Gott dich lieben. Die Wahrheit sagen immer, auch wenn dies den eigenen Tod! Verteidigen den Hilflosen und nichts falsch machen! Das ist Ihre Eid!" Godfrey of Ebelin & Belien der Schmied "Success without honor is like an unseasoned dish, it whets the appetite but does not fill the hunger." "You guys have to talk about something. The fans have to put something on those - what do you guys call those things, Twittle-do, Twittle-dee?" _ Joe Paterno, July 27, 2009 at the Big Ten Conference pre-Football season Media Day. "GOOD minus GOD equals O!""
