I was born in St. Elizabeth Hospital, Washington Heights, New York. I have a twin sister Paula who was born about 16 hours ahead of me. We lived at 520 West 218th Street, New York from 1946 to 1958. Attended elementary school at P.S. 98 from 1951 to 1958 and junior high school at P.S. 52 for one semester in 1958. We then moved to 181 Franklin Avenue, Midland Park, New Jersey. Attended Midland Park Jr/Sr High School from 1959 until graduating along with my twin sister in 1964. I attended Fairleigh Dickinson University part-time from 1964 until 1968. I was drafted into the U.S. Army in 1968 completing my Basic Training at Fort Campbell, Kentucky in May 1968. I then completed Advanced Infantry Training (AIT) or Tigerland at Fort Polk, Louisiana in July 1968. I attended Non Commissioned Officer's (NCO) school including Ranger Week at Fort Benning, Georgia in October 1968. I completed my NCO training at Fort Polk, Louisiana or Tigerland in February 1969. I immediately departed overseas to South Vietnam and was assigned to the 31ST Infantry Regiment, 9TH Infantry Division at Basecamp Dong Tam in the Mekong Delta. My missions included working with the U.S. Navy's Mobile Riverine Force and Eagle Flights on Huey Helicopters and reconnaissance missions on Light Observation Helicopters (LOH). I was wounded on April 11, 1969 and about seven weeks in numerous hospitals including Vung Tau and Cam Ranh Bay. I re-entered combat in late May 1969, was promoted to Staff Sergeant / Platoon Sergeant and finally departed South Vietnam on February 1970. I returned to Fairleigh Dickinson University graduating with a Bachelor's of Science (B.S.) Degree in 1973, and a Master of Science (M.S.) Degree in 1979.

Welcome to WikiTree! The email we just sent has helpful links to get you started on your Wikitree genealogical journey.
WikiTree differs from other genealogy websites in that our goal is to have a single profile per person, and thus we share ancestors and collaborate as a GLOBAL collective team!
What interests have guided you to WikiTree? Do you have research youd like to share? Are you interested in how your family fits into our tall and many branched tree?
When you confirm your email address, youll be given an opportunity to volunteer to help document our collective family history. Use the Tags and comments to tell us about your genealogical interests.
When you volunteer, one of our Greeters will confirm your membership. Then you'll be able to add your family to the tree!
We're really excited you are here!
