Ambitions Fulfilled

Before Me There Were A Few After Me There Shall Be No More . . . .As I Begin To Pen My Life’S Story I Realize That God Is To Be Thanked For His Mercy Goodness And Grace That Has Kept Me For Such A Time As This. Today I Find Myself Living On God’S Promised Three Score And Ten And If By Reason Of Strength They May Be Fourscore – Which Amounts To Eighty Years In Time. I Stand At The Threshold Of My Promised Eighty Years “With Strength” And In God’S Favor.Life For Me Has Been Quite A Journey And Most Of My Ambitions Have Been Achieved And Found To Be Very Fulfilling. I Am Grateful To Have Been Able To Accept The Opportunities And Challenges That Have Confronted Me In My Careers And Travels. I Retired From The U. S. Air Force After 20 Years Of Honorable Service. I Was Fortunate To Have People In My Life To Help Strengthen Me When I Was Weak Or Needed Assistance. I Covet The Memories I Have Experienced And Will Never Forget The People Who Were The Most Influential.I Was Blessed To Complete A Second Career As A Policeman At Indianapolis University Purdue University Of Indiana. Becoming Physically Handicapped I Was Forced To Retire After 23 Years Of Time Served Instead Of The 25- 30 Years I Had Intended.It Has Been A Pleasure To Research My Past And With The Help Of My Wife Delia I’Ve Been Successful In Getting My Story In Print. I Pray You Will Enjoy Reading What I Have To Share With You And Prayerfully I Will Inspire Someone To Seek Out A Lifetime Career In The “Army” Of The Lord And The U. S. Military Service. Of All The Pride I Possess For Land And Country I’M Most Proud And Thankful That I Am Where God Needed Me To Be At This Time In My Life And I Have Realized The State Of Mental Strain I’M In And Now Fully Seeking The Help I So Desperately Need To Get Well.I Sincerely Regret That I Fathered No Children Especially A Son To Carry On My Family’S Name And Legacy – Therefore After Me There Shall Be No More!
