Bio
Although retired I keep up with developments in historic preservation, my Master of Science field. I continue to be involved in a number of veterans organizations and advocate on behalf of my sisters and brothers who served. I'm very active in O.R.A.H, Operation Restore Advocate Heal, an advocacy for lgbt vets who were harassed, investigated and/or discharged due to our sexual orientation.
In 1990 I became the first openly gay graduate in the history of Norwich University. They didn't even put my picture in the yearbook. So I graduated magna cum laude just to show 'em what was important.
