Proud to be a Texan

You can take a Texan out of Texas, but you can never take Texas out of a Texan!!! eeEEHaw

I was born June 23, 1935 in Mineral Wells, in Palo Pinto County, Texas, but moved to Midland, Texas in 1945. I joined the U. S. Navy in June of 1952 and served until I retired on July 1, 1975. I reside in Mulvane, Kansas, a small community 15 miles South of Wichita which is right smack in the middle of tornado alley. My wife and I are both Amateur Radio Operator's, her call sign is KB0PVV and mine is AA0UM.
Here is a short story that I have written about my first fly fishing expedition back in the early 40's. It's definitely non fiction and is written as I remember. The second short story in the series is about Quail Hunting and the third about duck hunting. They have now been published in several news papers and foreign club magazines. I hope they bring back fond memories to many of you. Since my second retirement in February, 2001 I have slowly been completing the other 22 short stories. Heck who knows, maybe some day I'll publish them in book format. If you take the time to read the stories and enjoy them I'd appreciate an e-mail. Shucks there is even a picture of my cousin and I when we were 7 years old with a catfish bigger than we were. My hobbies are , Amateur Radio, fishing, Photography , camping and now I've added Geocaching..
