Life
Went one year to West Georgia and then joined the Air Force in 1957. Basic training at Lackland AFB, TX, then Army Language School (Russian) at Presidio of Monterey, CA, then National Security Agency at Ft. Meade, MD, then Zweibrucken, Germany. Honorably discharged in 1961.

Knocked about for a while in Detroit, New Orleans, and Atlanta. Married Barbara in 1963, one stepson. Graduated from Georgia State (Geography) 1969. Graduated from UGA in 1974 (MA, PHD Geography). Taught geography at West Georgia College and University of West Georgia from 1974-1999. Divorced in 1977.

Married Ann in 1978, stepson and stepdaughter. Retired in 1999. Currently have one dog, a Havanese named Cookie, and one darned cat, a Tabby named Lucy. Have greenhouse, will plant. Make birdhouses, read, attend class reunions, enjoy classical guitar and goldie oldies.

Military
I enjoyed my work breaking codes and doing rudimetary translation. My co-workers, both military and civilian, were great guys. During my least year or so in Zweibrucken Germany I maintained a bunk in the barracks, but I lived "on the economy" at 58 Ixheimer Strasse, just across the street from Cafe Royal. The friends, parties, associations, and experiences I had there are cherished to this day. Some good, some bad, but all that I remember, I do so fondly. I wish I could hear from Inga Nuenfeldt, but, alas, she is will remain just a memory.

At the 1996? reunion... This was taken at the 1996 40th reunion, or was it the 35th in 1991?

Not really... I couldn't pass the physical to get in the flight program, so, later in life, I had this fake photo made for laughs (actually, tears of regret).
