Old Poolman

I am a 74 year old retired business owner. I was born in Illinois, but lived most of my life in the state of Arizona.

I served in the US Army protecting this country I love so much.

I love guns, practice often, and reload most of my own ammo.  Yes I do have a concealed carry permit, and I do carry most of the time.

I don't have a Masters Degree, but graduated with honors from the school of hard knocks and majored in the lessons of life.

I don't always agree with everyone, and don't expect them to always agree with me.  I respect their opinion on most issues, and would not try to change their mind.  Sometimes I am asking questions because I plain don't understand and am not ashamed to admit it.

I have opinions on most things, some are right and some are wrong.  I enjoy reading what others have to say and am willing to change my opinion if presented with better information.

Before I meet my maker I would love to see the citizens of this great country united again, and the hate and bickering between those with slightly different beliefs stopped for good.

I treasure nothing more than a good friend.  I have only a few I would call true friends, those who I would do anything for, and they for me.  Good friends are worth far more than gold.
