56 year old combat-disabled Vietnam Vet (Not that it slows me down!). Active lurker since spring of '97. Unable to participate back then because I was on a 4 year foreign assignment using company computer resources. Ex-Telecommunications Professional. Currently own and operate a small independent grocery store in Virginia's rural Northern Neck. Married to a wonderful woman (also Freeper) for 15 years/no kids, but two Shetland Sheepdogs, most often referred to as "The Boys." Strong conservative constitutionalist; NRA/Second Amendment Task Force member; have Virginia CCP with 92FS Compact as weapon of choice. Active outdoorsman; camping, fishing, archery, sport shooting. Also, I'm a voracious reader, amateur gourmet cook, and an N-Scale model railroader. Still pissed at what the Clinton cabal and the liberals did to my Navy.
