I am a 61 year old Vietnam veteran, raised in the South, conservative Republican. I have been married to my only wife for 38 years. Unfortunately, God has never blessed us with any children, but we both love dogs and we currently have our 6th and 7th, both Siberian huskies, Nico and Dominic. Both my wife and I are strong 2nd Ammendment supporters and we both shoot at the range every chance we get. I served 10 years in the U. S. Navy including two West Pac cruises during the sixties and a flying assignment based out of Pax River, MD. I suppose that is how we two conservatives wound up in the Peoples Socialist State of Maryland, although we did elect a very good Republican Governor, Robert Erlich, so things are looking up a bit. Both my wife and I work for Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory. I am a software engineer and she is a contracts administrator. We will probably retire in a couple of years and just Freep for a living ;-)
