[DARISC]

I have the impression that a lot of posters here think he was actually a sniper. He wasn't. He let it slip on some thread years ago that an M21 sniper is a rifle he loves. In another thread he let it slip that he worked in the motor pool as a mech.

He also projected that he'd spent a lot of time in the Army. He said he volunteered back during Nam because he was a super patriot. Maybe, dunno. Maybe he was about to be drafted and enlisted to maybe get some choice of what he'd be doing. My guess is he spent 3 or 4 years and got out, dunno. He wouldn't say when asked.

Byron asked him several times how the renovation was going on the old fire house he'd moved into. He'd never reply. i suspect he was a renter, but again, dunno.

In any case, interesting human being. I think to myself, what's this 40 year old guy going to be doing with his life 10 years from now? Here or gone, doesn't matter to me. I badgered him a lot over the years here, but I really bear no malice towards him. I feel sorry for him if I feel anything. Hope he finds happiness.
