About Me
I am 67 years old and live in Spring, Texas. I retired from AT&T in 1990 and went to work for AIG. I plan on retiring from AIG in 2009. I have been in telephone installation and repair since I left the Air Force in 1964. I am married to Linda and have a grown son (Scott). My wife and my son are my caregivers. The puppy in the picture is my Christmas present Lucky. I wish I didn't have ALS but I'm not afraid of it. I will fight it until I win.
