"My father, Glen, dropped out of high school to enlist in the Navy as soon
as he turned 18. There was a war going on and he didn't want to miss it.
He stayed in for 24 years during which time he married Dorothy Chipperi and
had a couple of kids, Glen Jr. and me. Because dad was in the service, we
never stayed anywhere very long but I did get to see a chunk of the world."
-- by Dale A. Steddum 23 Feb 2000.
