Formative years in the 70s, grew up in mountains of new york, not far from the Woodstock festival of 69. Moved south in 72 been here since, georgia is where i call home, work took me to othet states including Alaska, love good people avoid debbie downers, im alive and thankful everyday, medical field was my profession, eventually became an instructor of civilian and military. jokester, sarcastic humor , serious when necessary however easy going otherwise, active in yardwork, gardening, pets, help neighbors, personality trumps looks in my book, race not an issue , healthy living is important, cook most of my meals, read various books often, history, poems, inspirational, health, peace of mind. Photography with 35mm, art projects, were my passions, not a big sport fan, haven't hunted or fished in 30 years, however like the outdoors in good mild weather, like the cold better than 100 degree heat. Letting my beard grow out, volunteer with advocacy group for Americans with disabilities, salvation army Christmas bell ringer and dancing Santa, not one to just stand there, our bucket received top donations, latest song i been spreading around is " ooh, ooh child things are gonna get easier" by the 5 stair steps 1970. Thats about enough for now, look forward to a fellow kindred spirit answering. Until then, i am and shall remain...dave.
