I'm a Carolina boy, back home after medical retirement from the Air Force in Jan. 2003. Served 21 years, 3 days. Diagnosed "probable" ALS July 2002 at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Washington DC. Limb-onset, right hand. Two teen boys, keep me "on my toes", gotta love em! Met the love of my life while stationed in Turkey. Two year old dachshund, Pepper, is my companion when the wife's away, and sometimes when she's not.
