Introducing myself and my journal: Tom's Peregrinations

About Me:
I am an 86 Year old retired dental educator and Army Officer. I have been in many foreign countries, attempted to learn their languages and customs. I have been married to my first love for nearly 65 years. Some great ladies have been influential in my life and I am just now beginning to pay my debt. My Autobiography, \"Peregrinations\" was published in by xlibris in 2006. I decided, in 2010 to enroll in a writing class with a well-regarded institution in order to improve my writing skills. Since starting the school, I have had some thirty articles publishe by PatriotPost.com in their commentary section. I plan to submit an article to WorldPulse in the very near future. Yes, two great ladies will be the focus. Incidentally, I wrote my autobiography for the sole purpose of providing my grandchildren, 3 grown ladies, and my five great grandchildren with some insight into some of the most difficult years in America's sometimes turbulent history.
