I am a Vietnam-Era veteran. My military career began in 1972, stationed in Thailand. I served during Desert Storm and was stationed in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba in 1992. After I retired from the US Navy as a Yeoman First Class, I spent the next seven years working in the Middle East as a defense contractor. I am the oldest of six daughters. Traveling is my passion. I enjoy dancing to music that has a good rhythm. I have no children, but my nieces and nephews keep me busy.
