Who

Geologist - MS, 1975, The University of Arizona. Currently a (retired) "torturer of teenagers" (high school science teacher) and a dabbler in almost anything scientific. {B-)}

Long, long time ago

In what seems like another universe now, I was a U.S. Marine - spent almost two years in 'nam. Radio op with MAG-36, chopper outfit, mostly in and around Kỳ Hà copter pad north of the Chu Lai airbase. Took a trip to 'nam aboard the USS Princeton (LPH-5) in August '65 and flew back stateside June '67. Damn, that was a long time ago!
