About Me
Married Linda Smith (13th Corps) in 1987, Three boys: (Josiah (989), Cody (1990), Samuel (1993)) and one needy boxer, Holly. We Live one town over from where I grew up. Cody is an Army Captain at Walter Reed in Bethesda, MD as a Nurse Anesthetist, Sam is an E6 with the DOD assigned to the VT Nat Guard and is employed as a Chief Security Officer for a Raytheon plant in Maine. Josiah is a free spirit who loves the Lord plays a mean guitar and is a licensed optician. I was a partner in a Window Cleaning business with Arne Yaghsizian (WC14)until Arne recently went to be wih the Lord (March 2012). Now I carry on the tradition of excellence by myself.
Linda has become a Respiratory Therapist. She worked hard for two + years in accomplishing this, all while working part-time and managing the household. You gotta love her. The Lord has given her much grace in this area. She now has a job at the hospital where she was a medical secretary and is very excited about this new place in her life.
David earned a AS in Computer Information Systems in 2011 and graduated at the top of the class in the large Community College maintaining a 4.0/4.0 average throughout the course study. He is a member of Phi Theta Kappa as works part-time for himself producing websites and assisting residential customers with their home computing needs.
Since being married in '87 we have lived in Orlando & Hollywood, FL, Buffalo, NY Area and then to CT where we have been for 30 years.
David has been on numerous mission trips over the years to Romania, Israel, Kenya, and Haiti where we have assisted the locals in building schools, churches & children's homes. This besides seeing many miracles and healings while ministering the Gospel. The Kenyans have said they would build a home for us to retire in if we choose. Not a bad place to put down some roots.
This in 2010 year Linda went to Uganda with a medical missions team, it was a fantastic time and the team saw a 1,000 people in 5 days. She has also been to Haiti with our middle son, Cody and I.

It's about 5:45AM here in the midwest. What a great time of day. It's reminds me of Mark 1:35.... One thing I remember about you was your love for retemories. ie You love for the Word of God. What was that one about a tree falling in the woods? Yesterday while working, for whatever reason, I remembered opening nite of our Corps where Dr exhorted us," If I were you kids I'd believe God for a big heart." The verse was, " Psalm 119:32 I will run the way of thy commandments, When thou shalt enlarge my heart. Psalm 119:32."
I think it stemmed from the statment , " I'd rather wear out than rust out," relative to living this life for God. Have a good one.

ps how about the songs by Josh, Long Black Train and That's Just
the Way He was Raised? Pretty Cool
Yea, I'm into this. I must admit that I need extra motivation to sit at the computer for something other than work. I do believe this venue will provide the kick. Thanks for the message. I know that many folks that I think/care about are out there. You are not far. David there will be more to come.

I will also forward you message you left here to him.
Thanks for keeping in touch!!!!
Enjoy hearing from you. Did not know you had a brother in Grand Rapids. That is where my main office is located.
Nice looking family. Thank God my kids all took after their mother.
It was great to read the bio on you and Linda. It's difficult to perceive that we graduated from The Way Corps 22 years ago. God was indeed gracious in allowing us to be exposed to and learn what we did at such a young age. And how liberating is it to know that the Word of God IS the Will of God, that alone was worth the price of admission. I got such a kick when you said that one of your favorite movies was Braveheart...I was shocked...tsh tsh.
You are God's Best,
Love to You Yours,
Don
PS I think you knew this but, I married Therea Teta (13th). We have 4 kids and 2 of them are playing basketball...one in HS and another in middle school. I could never jump but, I can still beat any of them in a free throw competion.
