I want to put a firecracker under the publics rears and make them more aware of what retinal diseases are.

More About Me
My husband and I knew each other for 3 weeks, and he asked me to marry him. He was shipped to Viet Nam in Sept of 1968. I met him in Hawaii in May, and we got married there. It has been 35 wonderful years, but it only seems like yesterday. We have 3 beautiful daughters, all still living at home. (We must be doing somthing right or wrong depending on who's looking at it.) I am happy with life, and I love to help people.
