My Redheaded Mom
My five foot-ten inch, orange-blooded, Rocky Top singing, mother of four boys, red-head from Alcoa, Tennessee is best labeled in one term, Boss-Mom. I could write a book about her zest for life and accomplishments but instead will take you to the very hot summer of 1965 when we were stationed at Craig Air Force Base, Selma, Alabama.

It is possible to think of any one of the three independently as required for a healthy and fulfilling relationship. It is also possible to see the power of three when all are present and in force where one strengthens and multiplies the other causing the relationship to be empowered with a force to withstand all challenges whether they be long gaps in time together, finances, individual goals, family, work, or any outside influence.

The Man who Saved the World!
Moscow, September 26, 1983 Shadows ebbed and flowed from the greenish light that reflected from the instrument panel to Lt. Colonel Petrov's face.

Let it Go
"Dad, dad! Wake up!" My eight year old son's voice rattled my sleep. I eyed the clock by the bed that flashed numbers like an NBA scoreboard and displayed 6:33 a.m. My brain, fogged for a second, thought someone's lost the game badly, 33-6. I gathered my wits and thought to myself,
