I am 70 years old and live in Spring, Texas. I was a telephone man for 45 years after I got out of the Air Force in 1964. I never planned on retiring because I loved my job but am now retired due to ALS. I've adjusted to retirement better than I thought. My wife Linda and my son Scott are my caregivers. Scott lives nearby and comes by often to help Linda out. The puppy in the picture is Lucky. He's my buddy. I wish I didn't have ALS but I'm not afraid of it. I will fight it until I win.
