Puerto Rico. We left San Diego & moved there when I got out of the Navy.

50 years ago we had been married for 12 years, were living in the same home that we live in today, the youngest of our 4 children was 11 and I was 20 years from retiring.
One home, one wife, 4 kids, and a flock of grands and great grands - - my life in a nutshell.

Not really. I thought since when I left the Navy & found employment quickly in Puerto Rico & bought a house there, returning to the states should be the same. It wasn't for the 1st. few months but the money from the sale of our home in Puerto Rico carried us through. Began as sales clerk/stockman for 84 lumber. Pay wasn't great but the side jobs working for electricians, plumbers, roofers, & wall board installers gave me a lot of valuable OJT. Add to that driving 18 wheeler full time for awhile. Toss in 20 ton dump truck driving & shop repair part time my resume grew. Never looked for or applied for any social help programs.

Working for Collins Radio building wiring harness and printed circuit boards for the Apollo Project, making almost $6 an hour, good money then. They are Rockwell International now.

Having returned from Turkey, we were in the process of moving to Detroit. Yikes, that was a shock.

Don't remember much, I would have turned 20... in the long lost past.
Let's see, Nixon was president, and the war was still on, winding down all too slowly.
