After high school I joined the US Army - 82nd Airborne Division at Ft Bragg, NC. I was in the 2/508th Airborne Infantry. I missed Viet Nam...went in 1976 and came out in 1979. I was very fortunate to make the Viet Nam era G.I. Bill cut off. I was able to attend Arizona State University in Tempe, AZ. I obtained a B.S. in Political Science.
I got married after college and moved to Atlanta in 1989. I worked for the FDIC - Division of Liquidation - ORE Assets.
