Have lived in 25+ cities across the US and traveled to over 33+ countries on business/vacations since leaving high school and served 5 years in the USNavy. I visit Albuquerque on a fairly frequent basis, but consider New York City my home now for the past 15 years.

22 more years to hit age 100 on December 24th 2046. Why not plan for it!
Need to make sure my grandson grows into a responsible adult!
Was Awarded 100%. Total & permanent Disability by the VA due to Agent Orange exposure in the 60's during my US Navy days.
Took 45 years of fighting for this but finally won..! Don't ever stop fighting for what's right!
Lots of suffering here but we'll worth the win.

Moving on to the next 22 years, who knows what else I can accomplish! I sit on the Board of a Colorado Univ. PROGRAM focused on Diabetes resources! Always something / someone to help.
I'm going out with a BANG💫at age 100 🤞
