Hi to all, thanks for letting me join the group. I'm 76, widower, ex marine, interested in guns since I was in single digits. I was on the Marine Corps Rifle and Pistol Team for a year in 1963-64. BS in management, managed a federal civil engineering division for 21 years, lived all over the US and Caribbean. I currently teach shop part-time and design science projects for physics students at Southwestern University. Second Amendment advocate, believe in constitutional government, American traditions, God and country. I like ballistic science and shooting, alternative energy technologies. Love good science fiction and mysteries. Never been to Africa, but always had a fascination for African hunting stories and adventure lore. And, yes Ladies, I can cook. That about sums me up.
