I was married for nearly 40 years when my wife passed from the complications of Type 1 diabetes. My second wife and I have been together for nearly 12 years. I was a software engineer on the AEGIS missile system and classified Navy projects. 2 years active duty in the Army and 20 years in the National Guard field artillery. I was a United Methodist minister for 17 years. My experience with a newspaper was as a volunteer on the editorial board of the Courier Post newspaper in Cherry Hill, NJ for 2 years. I have 3 daughters and 3 sons and 6 grandchildren.
