Rockmower
James (aka Rockmower) retired from the U.S.Army way back in 1992. He followed that up by spending a few years working in customer service.
James has had extensive schooling as a heavy equipment mechanic, and taught automotive electronics for two years.
Currently, he is enjoying the start of his "senior years" by staying home with the "Love of my life" named Valerie.
His greatest joys come from spending time with his wife; having his grandchildren come visit; and, of course, writing poetry.
He has had poems published in a regional magazine, and has gained a fairly wide following from a couple of forums he belongs too.
