About Me

I served in the Marines and U.S. Navy, a total of 22 1/2 years. I finished up for my bachelor's degree in engineering and math while in the Navy, and completed three years of night law school at my last shore-duty station before retiring. I got my JD (juris doctorate) about six months after I retired and passed the California Bar Exam the first time I took it. I spent 27 years practicing law, mostly defending civil law suits.

Activities

Walking, reading, research on subjects that interest me

Favorite Music

NIkki Yanofsky - This little girl from Canada (now 17) has more talent than all of the "American Idol" winners combined. Of course I'm partial to jazz and loved Ella Fitzgerald.

Favorite TV Shows

The Good Wife - most accurate court room trial scenes I've seen.
"Castle" - two very appealing lead actors, with (usually) good stories and scripts

Favorite Books

PIllars of the Earth (Ken Follett), Winds of War, War and Remembrance (Herman Wouk)

Favorite Quotes

“A nation trying to spend itself out of poverty is like standing in a bucket and trying to lift yourself up by the handle.” Winston Churchill
“If you're not a liberal at twenty you have no heart, if you're not a conservative at forty you have no brain.” Winston Churchill

Favorite Heroes

Winston Churchill, James Madison, Thomas Jefferson

You may have been on Enterprise for the 1972-73 cruise. CVW-14 had VF142 and VF143, along with VA-27, another Corsair squadron and an A-6 heavy attack squadron. I was the maintenance/material control officer for HS-2 Det-1. We were also on the 1974-75 cruise for the first deployment of the F-14 Tomcat. VF-1 and VF-2 replaced the two Phantom squadrons but the rest of CVW-14 remained pretty much the same.

No illustrious Navy career just a lowly brown shirt attached to VA-27 back in the very early 70`s. The pic isn't me but it could be my bro..lol

Thanks - I had not heard about the cities that wanted Enterprise.

The Navy has stated that the same mistake they made with CV-6 will not be repeated, so don't give up Hope. There are several cities on all three coasts that want Her and even the Naval Academy has said that it's possible to moor Her there.
The Future's not here yet, so don't hang Your head. No one's going to forget Enterprise or Arizona.
