An Army Brat during Vietnam, our family moved many, many times! We landed in Ft . Hood for my high school where I learned to fly at Killeen, Texas. Then off to Texas A&M University for long but (eventually) successful studies in Geology and Engineering, which led to positions over the next 30 years with Mobil, ExxonMobil, BP, and Boots & Coots. Started hanging around the Tora crowd in 1999 and its been a passion and hobby ever since!
