George... Gary...
There are few things we have in common. I retired from the USAF in '90. Elvis and I share the same birthday, but he used his up, mine is still working as of now. Perhaps I saw you a few years ago at a Twin Street reunion at the Rec center in Sylacauga? I've lived in Panama City since '87 and still own property and visit Sylacauga every few weeks. I've only been to Memphis once in the past 20 years. I drove there a few years ago to buy a car. Only there long enough to pick up the car, eat some barbeque and hit the road back to Sylacauga then to Panama City.

Yes sir Mr. Chuck. I was at the rec center. That was my first gig. My wife is also a vet. We live super close to the VA hospital which is great since we're retired. Memphis is no paradise, but can't stand the thought of moving. I've set my goal this year to ride a jet ski. Seems I'm too heavy for parachuting. You would think the heavier one is the faster they would fall or bounce higher. Funny, we purchased a van in Florida on the internet. Got it in three days. Be well.

George,

I have pix and maybe video too of that "first gig". Not so much your performance, but mostly folks that attended. I'll try to dig them out.
Yes, I retired at Tyndall and stayed here, about 4 miles from the base. Luckily, I've not needed the VA, so that's a good thing.

Click on the link at the top of the page "VISIT OUR WEBSITE AT:" It's a few pages that I maintain. Looks like I need to do some maintenance too. I'll get to that here shortly. I'm looking forward to more free time soon.

Take care,
Chuck
