Since leaving Lennox I got married at the age of 17 moved to Colorado for a short time had a baby, moved to Utah then back to Calif where I joined the Air Force where I was a firefighter for four years during the Viet Nam war fortunately I did not have to go over there. After getting out of the Air force I got a job working for the Los Angeles County Fire Dept for Twelve years before being retired (by force) for a neck injury sustained on duty during a fire when a roof collapsed (I was not hurt that bad but they seemed to think so) Then I started a fire protection company Servicing Fire Extinguishers, installing,and servicing fire systems over hoods in kitchens, and fire sprinkler systems. and to this very day still do the same job except I now have five employees of my own. oh, I forgot I also have eleven children, and thirteen Grandkids,and am on my third marrage of which it will be my last. after all third times a charm OR is it three stricks your out? well thats it in a nut shell for me to this point in my life how about you?
