I was born in northeast Missouri at the end of WWII. I grew up in Ottumwa, Iowa which I consider my home town. I attended the University of Iowa and graduated from University of Texas At El Paso with a BSME. I spent three years in the Army from 1966 to 1969. I worked for 40 years in the oilfield services industry. I retired in 2011. I am now interested in genealogy and have become involved in Find A Grave as one means of doing genealogy research. You are welcome to use any photograph I post to Find A Grave.
