American Leadership in Climate Change

Our President represents the best of what the United States is all about to our citizens and to the rest of the world. We grant him this status as our elected leader, responsible to protect our way of life and secure our posterity, our future. The goals of security, economic stability and growth, and conservation and protection of our environment, can only be achieved by dealing with the global community. 
So, the air we breath, the water we drink, must be a priority. A threat to our climate is a global security problem and needs a global solution by those nations that can make a difference. We need a leader who can speak to our understanding and acceptance of the threat of climate change and leads the way to the best possible measures to improve our future prospects. Steps to keep the Earth Biodome capable of sustaining life on the planet is an urgent priority. Denying the science, challenging the integrity of the scientists and their process, is more than ignorance it is a consequence of deniers seeking to serve selfish special interests agendas not the best interests of the American people.
President Obama and whomever follows, must be committed to seeing the efforts to moderate climate change through for the long term.

Growing Up a Navy Junior. 1947-1965

Growing Up a Navy Junior    I was born during the early post World War II years, 1947. I was the second try as my mother had a miscarriage something I only learned of very late in my life. That kind of thing was ordinary but just not spoken about. Glad my parents kept trying. The post-war mood of America was one of huge relief that the war was over and exuberance that the allies had won, and the future looked safer for all peoples. There was so much going on in the US with demand for workers and farmers to get back to building and producing, and to feeding the population. American industry and agriculture quickly became a major economic force involved in supporting and providing resources to the rebuilding of nations that had been devastated by the Axis countries in Europe and Asia. My father had decided to remain in the Navy and continue to serve as a Line Officer in the Surface Warfare branch. His assignment at the time of my birth was Aide to the Commandant of the Third Naval Distri

Keeping Busy As A Substitute Teacher

 Assignment recently in Civics class, 7th graders. Studying the American colonial days of the 1600s and early 1700s. I did some enrichment research to explain about indentured servitude. Introduction Although it most famously appeared during the 17th century as a means for facilitating transatlantic migration and providing labor in England’s early American colonies, indentured servitude has manifested itself in many forms during its long history. Indentured servants were individuals who bargained away their labor for a period of four to seven years in exchange for passage to the New World. In the 17th century, indentured servants made up the mass of English immigrants to the Chesapeake colonies and were central to the development of the tobacco economy. Large numbers of indentured servants could also be found in the English West Indian colonies, but they were replaced by enslaved African laborers by the end of the century as cash-crop agriculture (particularly sugar) and plantation sla

Blue and Gold Officer Summer Training - July 2010

As a Naval Academy Information Officer, I am a volunteer working for the Admissions Office at United States Naval Academy. Specifically, I am assigned to assist high school students with the application process for admission to the Academy. The process is far more involved than for normal college and university admissions. Not only does the candidate have to complete an admissions package for the Academy, he or she has to also seek a nomination from a congressmen or apply for a Presidential nomination if their parent(s) are veterans. So, so called Blue and Gold Officer volunteers, some 2000 plus in all states and overseas, assist the candidates and do personal interviews as part of the admissions process. I really enjoy doing this, the students are among the best in their classes and highly motivated and accomplished individuals willing to experience the service academy life and to serve their country as officers in the Navy and Marine Corps.  This July 18th, I will depart for a summ
