Ortho residency at the University of MN

Living and working in OKC and planning a vacation trip to New Mexico. Life was good and fun at the time.

Summer camp, getting ready to enter 5th grade I believe.

Basically the same. We had just moved to a new house and I was making whatever new friends I could before starting 5th grade.

Had to go back through my list of travel, but after refreshing my memory, I well remember I had two fun-filled weeks on the ground in Port Au Prince, Haiti. I have been to a fair number of less than desirable spots but Port Au Prince stands out in my mind; of course I can't draw a comparison with places in the middle east as I was never in the more rural parts.

I got to take an Uncle Sam’s Canoe Group trip there for some time around 93....and 94....Picking them up, burning their shit boats, killing their goats was a good time To help relive the stress, anD watching over them for days at a time, then uggggghhh, taking them back to Port o Prince...

I can only imagine how bad spending two weeks on the ground would have been.

I was in Army Basic Training at Ft Dix, NJ.

Overall, life seemed far less complex than today, though I don't long for them.

I was an undergrad in college and was working for the college all summer to finish paying my school bill.

Being a teenager in the 3rd world. Not very fun, if you ask me.

1990. That was the year that I got out of the Marine Corps and started my life as a civilian.

In July 1990 my wife and I were living in Staten Island, NY and I was working in Union, NJ.

My wife was eight months pregnant with our third child.

I had just graduated from law school and taken the California bar exam. Thankfully I passed.

I was 18 years old still living with my parents about 30 minutes from where I live now. I was doing overnight armed security patrol in some really shady areas of town.

The plan for the wife and I is to move in with my mom in the same home here in the next few months so we can sell our home, build our dream home, have my mom sell her home, and she will move in with us as the new home will have a very nice mother-in-law suite.

This being the 25th of July, which was a Wednesday in 1990, and the middle of the last full week in July, there can be no doubt that I was in Oshkosh, WI, at the EAA Annual Convention.

I used to go every year, until life got in the way. Now I only make it every 5 years or so.

I was 28, 1st year of marriage... just starting a career as a sculptor, had a gallery in NYC and had a well received group show in Cold Spring Harbor.

I was living in Albany, NY at the time.

Just graduated high school and was working my last summer at the local grocery store before beginning college in the fall.

5 years in to my police career, and a detective for 2 years. I can't be sure, but this time of year (or maybe a little later) it's quite possible I, and my (ex) wife and 2 kids were on vacation in Cyprus, as my father had a condo in Paphos and we traveled there nearly every year.

I was a young COBOL programmer at a small computer company in Austin called Dell Computer Corporation.
