About Me
I'm a 58 year old man who has lived and worked all up and down the East Coast of the USA, from Patten, Maine down to Key West, Florida. I have lived way out in the woods, in small towns, big cities, resort beach towns, but here I am back where I grew up at in Dundalk, Maryland again. I was a U.S. Army Photographer in 1969-71, stationed on Okinawa. I was a bear hunting guide in Maine, a blast furnace laborer for Bethlehem Steel, an office furniture delivery truck driver, a Book Mobile driver, Ferris Wheel Operator Extraordinaire, I drove a cab (sporadically because my back kept getting worse), I was a security guard in several places--including Key West Ocean Side Marina. I am saddled down by disabilities, a bad back and a good dose of depression, but I ain't dead yet. I survive on a small, monthly, non-service connected Veterans Administration disability check, and this freakin' poverty has just about worn me out. I need a modern computer, an editor for my writing, a financial backer for my photography efforts, and a sweet, young, 40 something year old woman to love and admire and have and hold and enjoy a great time with while living out the rest of our lives to the fullest.
