Welcome to my web site from Ventura, California.
Thought you might enjoy this view of the Marina at Ventura that we enjoy in our little city of Ventura.

| The beautiful Ventura Marina with its beach which we use all the time. Our grandsons have grown up knowing the ocean right here. We live in the foothills in the upper right of the photo. The mountains (Topa Topa) are almost 7,000 feet in height. Lots of snow on them in the winter. |

This web site is a pouring out of my emotions in some cases, and some exploring of all the many facets of the exciting life I have led, from its inception almost to the end. If you look at the table of contents just to your left, you can see that I cover a lot of ground. It's not all done yet, and with all the physical problems I have had, I am sometimes limited in what I can do on some days. But I hope you will enjoy what I have written. The last two sections perhaps are, to me, the most important. I hope you get that far.
Before I get into details on my background, please allow me to introduce you up front to my view and concern of the world that we are currently living in with all its potential for war at any time. The Sunni-Shite thing in the Middle East is producing more tension every day. The narrow-minded almost hysteria and preoccupation of the Arabs for the need to exterminate the Jews and erase Israel from the face of the earth is predominant in that part of the world, and the jihad the extremists have embarked on is affecting all the world. The underlying impact of that activity extends out to every part of the world. America is affected even to the point of having huge Arab neighborhoods in many of our major cities that are becoming a real problem. Ask the people in Detroit/Dearborn what they think of this situation!
The greatest stress on the Middle East situation is without a doubt the hatred the Arabs have for the Jews. The State of Israel is threatened constantly. The ultimate goal of the Islamic radicals is to impose Shari'ah law throughout the world. First they have to destroy Israel. (witnesss this piece in the Jerusalem Post recently by Caroline Glick:)
"Israel must prepare for war now.
So, too, with the US’s weak economy, Obama’s Muslim Brotherhood-friendly foreign policy, and Europe’s history of responding to economic hardship with xenophobia, Israel’s need to develop the means of militarily defending itself from a cascade of emerging threats becomes all the more apparent.
The economic storms may pass by Israel. But the political tempests they unleash will reach us.
To emerge safely from what is coming, Israel needs to hunker down and prepare for the worst.

What would the destruction of Israel mean to we that live in the Western world? It would mean a revolutionary way of life, one which is completely different than any we have known. It means the loss of Israel as an ally in the middle of a very troubled area. Islamic/Shari-ah law could dominate many parts of the world.
We have voted into office in the U.S. a President who is bent on changing the way the U.S. views the Muslim. He has yet to define in so many words what he means by "change", but his actions speak much louder than any words could proclaim. He is heading to change the U.S. into a socialistic nation, to make all people "equal". And even though this very same philosophy has failed miserably, and is failing even on this particular day in Europe and its extensions, he is purposely blind, and is being pushed by his puppeteers to care for what has happened before. They are on a course to destroy America as we have known it. That's their goal, and if we stay on the path that has been set before us by this administration and the congress, that's going to happen!
The power of our government is expanding and will soon permeate all parts of our daily lives. The recent debt crisis debates have been a farce. God and any reference to an Almighty Being has been pushed out of sight and mind. "In God we Trust" is fast becoming a forgotten phrase in our "new look". It all leads to the Biblical prediction of a "one world government" without God.
The President of the U.S. has even used these words in his speeches. He is even leading us in that direction.
I have been where power and money struggles have caused the deaths of many thousands, right here in the Western hemisphere (Guatemala), while most of the U.S. slept right through it although it was almost next door to our country. Today a despot is killing his own people in Syria, and the world watches and does nothing!
I hope America wakes up soon to what is happening. If not, in 10 or 20 years, America will no longer be the nation it has been. We older Americans are already living in what I call "a past history life" where our culture has changed so much that we can't identify ourselves with the present in most cases. Our children and grandchildren are living in a "new culture" which has vastly different values than what we had in our past lives. Is God going to perform a miracle to save the U.S. in the future? I hope so!!
With all of the foregoing being said, I hope you enjoy going through my background. I have to say it has been an interesting life.
I'm glad to not have to live it over again. The results would have been much different. Technology is no longer the issue that it used to be. Finding new things, new technology is not the name of the game any more. Now the issue is making more money with the technology that already exists, using new tricks to get more out of it. The space program as we knew it is gone. Joblessness is prevalent all over. Lots of changes taking place every day.
