THE BEGINNING – Big Stone Gap, VA This is stage one of my journey through the time on this earth! It began when I was 18 months old in a small Southwest Virginia town – - –
GERMANY – I spent over two years in Germany while serving in the U.S. Army in the late ’50s. During that time I visited a number of European countries and cities.
TWENTY YEARS IN ERWIN, TN – Right before my marriage, I moved to Erwin, TN, about 70 miles from my VA hometown. I was employed as Chief Engineer of a radio station there.
THE MIGRATION TO FLORIDA – I left Erwin, TN to accept a “temporary” job in television in Cocoa, FL. That was 28 years ago!

LATE BREAKING!
The United Nations was chartered in 1945 in San Francisco with 50 members. They moved to their permanent complex in New York City in 1952, described as “international territory” although somewhat subject to City, State and US laws (that is why unsavory characters, like Fidel Castro, who are not allowed into the United States, are permitted access to the UN).

All, literally ALL the news lately has been related to foreign nations. For years we have had a constant flow of information from the Mid-East: Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya, Egypt, Tunisia and virtually all the other Arab nations.
Because of Osama Bin Laden’s death the emphasis has shifted to Pakistan, and now many questions have arisen as to how much involvement that country had given to OBL and his comfortable hiding place just a few hundred meters from the Pakistani Army training academy (their equivalent of our “West Point”).

I have had a separate WEB site for the promotion and sale of my autobiography “I Walked With God (and Still Do!)” for about three years (2008). However, since I began this “blog” WEB site a little over a year ago, I have decided to move the book information and ordering capability to this one. This will reduce overhead (cost) and yet consolidate things into the one site.
It is now in place and actuated inclusively, ready for use!

Finally, after all the hoopla of several weeks prior to, and the unending coverage on all news channels on the day of the wedding (and re-runs all the next day in case we missed anything the first few times), the British Royal wedding has finally drawn to a close. (Only the death of the nefarious OBL superseded and reposed that coverage, at least for now). With all the “pomp and circumstance” of even greater magnitude than your standard college graduation the prince and his new bride have ridden off into the sunset – but, wait – “The sun never sets on the British Empire”. Perhaps they went over to the next castle to get away.
