My family moved to Houston in 1959 when it was just all fields lol

I was just 16 in high school. Nine years in the US Navy right out of highschool still only 27 I came back to Houston working for Southwest Security as a trouble shooter in 1971-72 installing smoke detectors at Shell Oil on the channel, had the keys to every 7-11, stop and go and u totem in Houston.

Took a chance at being a salesman for Southwest Marine selling sailboats in Seabrook for 5 years and I am so glad I did ... reached out for my full potential and became top salesman.

Now I am just an old retired sailor on social security trying to write the next best submarine movie, "Last Patrol" ever written, again reaching out for the impossiable.

I say go where your heart leads you so when it's over you can say, "at least I tried my best"

Time is only an extension of his promise to come back for us all someday ...
