I'm interested in people who are interested in me!
I like good manners.
Best years of my life were the 60's
I wanna talk bass!
12 years Army.
Enjoy helping people. Enjoy being helped!
I don't think solders and others should get medals and rewards for doing the right thing! We should do the right thing because it's right and not because we get paid to!
