Born in Chattanooga, TN the last week of 1939. Grew up there until USMC in 1960, stationed in DC until '63 ( Presidential Honor Guard, HMX-1, USMC Rifle Team). Back to Tennessee in late '63. First corporate transfer to Phoenix in 1976, then to El Paso in 1978. On to Oklahoma City in late 1980. There until '97 when promoted and transferred to Nashville. Heart problems forced an early retirement in 2000, then back to OKC.
As many old farts, followed grandkids to S. Texas in '02.
Still here, still shooting, but nothing with big recoil. Pistols only. Dr. told me no more shoulder recoil due to Defib/Pacemaker combo unit.

That's the one I'm from. I sold Mickey Gilley a .22 rifle for his son many years ago.

Born in Balboa Naval Hospital in San Diego. Grew up in the high desert, then moved to San Diego for work until 2007 - made a beeline for Texas ending up in the Austin area. I wish somebody would have warned me I was moving to the Texas version of Berkeley, CA lol. Probably one more move on the horizon to get closer to the coast or the very least into a more rural area.

Born in San Francisco, CA; grew up in Sonoma, CA; Moved all around Oakland, Concord, Marin; Then ended up in Austin 2+ years ago. Boy am I glad to be in Texas....
No need to worry about me, its those SoCal bleeding heart liberals you gotta watch out for. I'm more Oakland/Sonoma than I am SanFrancisco/Marin
