I was in Darmstadt from early 85-late 88. I think it was in 86 when a bunch of us went to see Deep Purple in Stuttgart and were blown away by a little known warm-up band called Metallica.

I graduated HS in 1989 and was going to go right into the USAF but instead went to college then enlisted in the USAF Reserves in 1994. Huge regret as I wanted to go to Germany for my 1st duty station not knowing I might have had a front row seat to history.

Danail ,We share a birthday I also turn 60 on Saturday ! I don’t feel old in my mind and my wife is always asking if I’m still in grade school,but it’s getting harder to climb out of bed in the morning! I raise a toast to us both.

Counting the weeks until I hit fifty nine. How the heck did that happen? I distinctly remember being sure in high school that at this age I would be driving around in a convertible 'vette with two leggy blondes. Something's gone horribly wrong with plan A.

Back in the 1930s there was an adventurer by the name of Roy Chapman Andrews who was a fossil hunter, an explorer, and a naturalist. My dad gave me a book when I was in 8th grade that Chapman wrote that I still have. It's titled, "Under A Lucky Star". That book of his adventures and explorations, frankly shaped my life. I have had fossils I found put in museums, I have scuba dived exotic locations and had my writings appear in dive magazines, I have driven an Indy car, mined for gold, camped in Alaska, been shot at, fired a 50 cal in West Germany, worked a commercial fishing boat as a teen, had a HAM radio license at 11, talked to William Shatner on the phone (invested in one of his movies), owned my own business. I saved a woman's life at sea, took a man's life to protect siblings (still hate all that), rappelled down sea cliffs and out of army helicopters. I have sold software, electric motors and women's underwear. During a hard time after my divorce in 95, I sold Avon to supplement my income. (Got a few stories there..) It has been a fascinating life. Sorry, I'm rambling here. Jeezus, I need to stop. Is this a "getting to be 60 thing??" Grin Quote:

Oh man, I have seen tons of pics of CC as my Dad was stationed in Berlin during the Berlin crisis, a very proud member of the Berlin Brigade. It was a very sad era with the families being separated.
I turned 55 in Feb, feel like I'm 20 and act like it most of the time. |

Be 67 in 3 months. Grunt and groan a little getting in and out of the Camaro. But...from my cold, dead hands!
