Here's a little about me to make sure you found the right one: I went to Patronage of St. Joseph until they closed forever. I finished at Nativity Diocesan High School (both of Detroit, MI) and graduated in 1969. Both schools are now closed. NDHS was under Nativity of Our Lord Catholic church in Detroit and it still exists.

I'm sorry if you missed the 2024 eclipse of the sun. I got to see its totality from Wapakoneta, OH on 8 April 2024. What a moving experience. I saw the total eclipse on 21 August 2017 from Portland (Nashville),TN and I also saw most of the total eclipse from Camp LeJeune, NC on 7 March 1970. That's three!!! I'm gonna try to make it to my fourth total eclipse on 23 August 2044. I'll have to drive I-94 to the area of Sydney, Montana. I've got 20 years to pinpoint and plan. Care to go with me? I'll be in my 90s. So what!

I'll miss the next one in 2099 because I'm sure I'll be dead by then.


Because we had the draft and my parents didn't have a lot of money, I went to the University of Science, Mathematics and Crayons (1969-1972) and graduated as a PFC. After two years and while deployed overseas to the Mediterranean with the US Navy, I received my military draft notice. Even as a Corporal of Marines, I found you don't ignore the US government, no matter how wrong they are.

  

I rescued and married a woman for 30 years. I was kicked out of family life and to the curb about 15 years ago. If that had to be done, I wish she would have thrown me out earlier. At least I could have tried to meet the RIGHT woman. Oh, well. That's what I get for doing what I thought was the correct thing.

I would like to thank that particular person for planting that extreme mistrust in me for women. I believe most females are trustworthy, but now I will always have my deep mental doubt. She ended my life, as I knew it. I get to start over now. It was much easier when I was young and not in my 70s. For that reason, I'll probably be alone for the rest of my life. Lesson learned. I'll never do that again.

Oh yeah, I was a tactical cop in Detroit for about 34 years. I finally gave that up as a lieutenant for UDM. Big deal, eh? So, here I go again, but much slower than before.

Real life resume: Starting work at age 8, I was a potholder maker and salesboy for same. I was also a wall washer, grass cutter, snow shoveler, Detroit News paperboy, Detroit Free Press paperboy, Detroit Free Press jumper, US Marine Corporal trained in combat, nuclear, chemical and biological warfare. I was also a pole climbing lineman while in, but not while at sea. I was a Detroit Police tactical officer, anti-sniper and observer. A Police Officer, Sergeant, Lieutenant and department head at the University of Detroit Mercy, and finally retired, just waiting my turn. "When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all."

or if you want to read my book, give The Real Unprivileged a shot. Hey, what do you expect? It's my first!

Peace!
