I met my lovely wife, Melina, while I was serving in the USAF at Malmstrom AFB in Great Falls, Montana.  She was a nursing exchange student working at Deacones Hospital.  We would go dancing, go to the movies, go to parties and view the sites of Montana.  I would meet her every night as she got off her nursing shift at 11:00 p.m.

After a year of courting, we got married on May 16, 1961. 

A year later, our first son was born - Joel Peter.  In 1964 our second son was born - Jeffrey Carag.  And in 1966 our third son was born - John Thomas.  They are all grown-up and leading good lives.  I'm proud of each one.

After retiring from the USAF, I started my second career.  I worked as the maintenance manager of an apartment complex, which was part of HUD (Housing Urban Department).  I retired after 20 years.  At the same time, I used my GI Bill to further my education at Evergreen Valley College.

Now that I'm retired, my wife and I visit the world.  Since Melina still works as a school nurse, we travel once a year during her summer break.  I enjoy seeing different parts of the world and experiencing different cultures.
