Biography:
I was born in 1945 and was raised in Dubuque, Iowa, graduating from the University of Dubuque in 1967. I was in the Army from September 1967 to August 1969 and I served in South Vietnam in the 58th Infantry Platoon (Scout Dog), in the 3rd Brigade of the 101st Airborne Division (Airmobile), with my partner Rebel M421. I was in the 58th from September 11, 1968 through August 25, 1969, starting out in Phuoc Vinh in III Corps and moving on to Camp Evans in I Corps. I went into South Vietnam a PFC and came out a Sargeant E5. I have been married to Mary since December 1967 and we have two sons, Scott (married to Maria and father of Abigail and Emily) and Alex. Our current dog is a pug named Bandit. I live in Cumberland, Rhode Island (since 1980) and work as a senior programmer/analyst for a kidney dialysis company in Lexington, Massachusetts.
