  • Two men other than my father had dramatic impact on my life. Both of them were PE teachers, one in elementary school and one in high school.

    I was awkward, uncoordinated, and a social outcast. I was always the last picked when teams were picked. My elementary school PE teacher solved this by making me the “captain” and I got to pick the teams.

    My high school PE teacher, who won State championships and coached future NBA all-stars still had time to be my doubles partner when we were playing tennis.

    Those two men were definitely my champions.

    60yo here.

    I spent the first 40 years of my life in Portland, OR (it used to be a great city). Then I married a Soldier and I’ve lived in several other places. We started in Denver spent two years there. It’s a fantastic city, but really expensive. Then we spent 3.5 years on Long Island, living in East Meadow, I hated how crowded it was, what the traffic was like. My wife has an 18 mile commute that often took 90 minutes. Then we moved to Fort Knox, Kentucky. We bought a house off post. The cost of living is much lower than other places we’ve lived. Our town is 2600 people. The people are polite and kind and our plan is after our next PCS next summer, to return here when my wife retires at 30 years.
