Father was a navigator onboard a subchaser. Has some very interesting stories to tell about his tours of duty in the waters off of New Guinea. He went in when he was 16 years old.
Other interesting things about yourself.
I am just an ordinary guy that has done a lot of different things in my life. I like to think of myself as being pretty normal. With the exception of my overly independant ways.
I left home for good when I was sixteen too, and traveled all over the USA. I finally returned to California and at the young age of eighteen, married my first wife. Been married and divorced twice.
If they dont eat their mushrooms, I'm outta there. lol:D
