I born and raised in New York City. I am a Navy Vietnam Veteran who was honorably discharged in December of 68. Since; got married, had three children, moved a couple of times, settle with an International Bank and retired in 2008. I use to entertain my friends with stories I would make up on the spur of the moment. Later on I was telling stories to my kids and their friends.
