SCAM

I received a call from a telemarketer today and he said he was calling from the Navy Veterans Association and wanted a pledge to send packages to the troops over seas. The whole thing sounded funny to me since I have never heard of Navy Veterans Assoc., so I told him I wasn't going to do anything but go on the internet and check out the organization. Well he didn't want to stop talking and begging so I told him I was finished and hung up. Good thing I did because when I went on line here is what I found.

It really angers me when these kind of folks use our veterans as a cause. It is pure evil at work here and I'm afraid because of the times it may get worse.
BEWARE!

PHOTO SCHOOL

This is from a movie (actually the only one) we made while at photo school. That is me acting up. Until someone else starts sending in photos and stories I will have to bore you with mine.

I really always wanted to do film work and missed having the chance to make TV commercials by one day. I was in San Francisco staying at the Oakland Army Base for a dollar a day after I was discharged and was daily looking for work in San Fran. I answered an Ad in the newspaper for a cameraman to help shoot and make
film for TV commercials. The guy said he had just hired someone else the day before but liked my resume a lot better and to stay in touch.

When I got back to the Army Base that day I was informed that I couldn't stay there much longer because I had been discharged so I decided to check out and get a train back to Ohio.
