My poetry writing started in 1968 or 1969 with a poem assignment in Junior High School at Three Rivers Junior High in Roscoe, Ohio. This lead to over 300 poems covering every aspect of life.
My first poem:
My dad came home the other nite,
His face wasn't very bright,
As you can guess,
The cars a mess,
And now he wants my bike.
My career in the Army started when I was young. My Great-grandpa was in World War One and my Grandpa was in World War Two. I remember listening to the few stories they would share of the wars. That set my course to join the Army also.
As a Senior in high school I joined the Delayed Entry Program. This was in December of 1973. Six months later, in June of 1974, and three weeks after graduation from River View High School, I left for active duty.view less
