The 70’s, 80’s and 90’s were all great to me. Parties out the ying-yang.”
Agree re ‘70s and ‘80s. We were in Alaska, which was all parties anyhow, but the chaos of the Pipeline Boom added to the craziness. Now, just thinking about it makes me tired.
What a coincendence. I was stationed at Ft. Yukon from Nov 78-Nov 79. And again stationed near Hayes from Jan 83-Sept 83...
oh oops
Thought he was a Baltimore guy?
In my case booze and dicks. (I’m a girl.) Life was good in the nineties. Very, very good.

So, this is what love feels like.
I think you may be right about that. My bad. I sometimes run my mouth on what I can recall on a moment’s notice. I’m often wrong.
Join the crowd. we’re all family. I think he did work in West Chester for QVC. Maybe he did live there.
I believe he was born and raise in Delaware.
Mike Rowe? Nope. He’s from Baltimore Maryland, my sorta hometown (long story, my family moved a lot as I was growing up – from NJ to NY to PA and eventually to Maryland, first in Frederick and then to Baltimore by the time I was in the 4th grade, but I lived a good half of my life in Baltimore). His parents used to live a few blocks from where I lived for many years after my husband and I bought a house in NE Baltimore City.
Rowe was born in Baltimore, Maryland to John and Peggy Rowe, who were both teachers.[1]:6 He stated in commercials for Dirty Jobs that the show is a tribute to his father and grandfather. He became an Eagle Scout in 1979 in Troop 16 in Baltimore,[4] and he read out loud to students at the Maryland School for the Blind during his service project for Eagle Scouts. He cites this as one of the reasons that he became interested in narrating and writing.[4][5] In June 2012, Rowe was awarded the Distinguished Eagle Scout Award by the Boy Scouts of America.[6]
Rowe attended Kenwood Presbyterian Church in Baltimore, which his parents still regularly attend. He graduated from Overlea High School in 1980,[1]:28 where he excelled in theater and singing under choir director Freddie King, whom Rowe credits for his interest in performing.[7] He then studied at Essex Community College.[7] He was named an Honorary Life Member of the Barbershop Harmony Society on July 8, 2017 at the Society's international convention in Las Vegas.[8] In 1985, he graduated from Towson University[9][1]:28 with a degree in communication studies.[10]

I give my mea culpa on that wrongly stated fact.
West Chester, PA
If he were in politics as a Republican (he nver revelas what he is), you can be sure a plethora of grotesque lies would soon be circulated about him.
Mike is good people - they don’t come more real than him...
