I am a retired Union Pacific Locomotive Engineer. I volunteer at the Galveston Railroad Museum running their engine on Saturdays. I belong to the Galveston Treasure Club, which is metal detecting club. I am an LDMA member and belong to the Round Rock GPAA Club. My wife Iris and I sold our gift shop on the Strand in Galveston about 1 1/2 years ago after having it for 15 years and are now totally retired. I was in the US Army from 1967 to 1969 and a VietNam Vet with the 82nd ABN.
