I have been an Architect for 40years. Am a licensed pilot and have restored 5 aircraft. One was a WWII British dehavilland mosquito.Am a certified scuba diver and spent many years doing so. Am a spelunker and have cave explored all over Texas and Mexico. Am a aviation historian especially of Texas History. I have spent over 50 years researching the origin and development of religion with one book published titled: Exodus Revisited, obtainable on Amazon.Have been a caregiver for 10 years to my wife who is a stroke survivor, and married for 25 years. I have had an extraordinary life filled with flying, developing an air museum and time with CIA in Vietnam and drug running. I could probably write a thousand short stories about my 75 year on this planet. The trouble is pilots are habitual liars no one in their right mind would believe them. Fortunately my poor children are knowledgeable of my aberrant life style, but still love me as I them. The other events of my life I will keep close to my vest for now but they too would make an exciting story. Probably that is why I like Married with Children.
