OTHER LIFE EXPERIENCES, TRAINING, & JOBS

company, for not meeting swimming qualifications; in my original cpmpany
(#077): our Company Commander had chosen me to be our Company's- Recruit

The reason for my discharge was given as "Personality Disorder"; which I
later discovered is a catch-all category for people who do not seem to
be adjusting to military life.  Two days after I got home I came down
sick with 104.5'F temperature, what turned out to be German Measles.
I was stationed at Great Lakes, NRTC, Chicago, IL.

OTHER PERSONAL EXPERIENCES-->

     Growing up in a family of musicians, music has always been a part of my
life.  During my early years of life, in the instrumental area of music, I
tried to learn various different instruments.  Finally, my sixth grade year,
(school year '69-'70), I started on the snare drum and since then I have
progressed and now I play various differnt percussion and rythym instruments.
The next school year, ('70-'71), I was finally able to carry a tune in
vocal music and Spring of '71 I sang my first solo in public, at church; the
song "Mansion Over The Hilltop".  The Lord has inspired me to put a number
of Scripture passages to music and several songs with words and music my own.

     I have also done much writing on Biblical, Spiritual, Doctrinal, and
Theological subjects.  More information available if desired.  Most of my 
shorter writings will be found on the JESUS Our LIGHTHOUSE Outreach Ministries 
HomePage, listed at the beginning of this HomePage.  Some of my Poems are found on Web Page
listed at the end of this site.

     Through various situations in life, I have had experience operating different types of sound
and lighting equipment.

Early in life I became interested in flags and related items and have become
an amateur vexillolgist--a studier of flags and heraldry; their history,
meening, purpose, and use.  I have designed a number of flags over the
years; the early ones were just boyhood things for a club some friends
and I had for awhile.  The more recent designs are for JESUS Our LIGHTHOUSE
Outreach Ministries; which have not yet been put into cloth, reason 
being lack of finances  for this.
