I joined the U.S. Air Force in August 1972 and made it a career retiring in 1992 as technical sergeant. While in the Air Force I met and married Elena Ramirez and had three children from that marriage Lisa Marie born June 6 1976, Elizabeth Ann born August 20 1978, and Christopher David DeGraff born January 5 1980. The marriage ended in divorce in 1982. In 1984 I met and married Audrey Evelyn Basten a native of England who immigrated to the USA with me and is still Mrs. DeGraff today.

I havent heard back from you about the break up of the United Kingdom Project. I hope all is well with you. I assume you dont wish to join any of the country-level projects at present, and will go ahead and remove the United Kingdom badge. If you wish to join England, Scotland, Wales or Ireland in the future, you would be most welcome to do so via the respective G2G sign-up post.
Many thanks for all your contributions,
Susie :-)
We realise the time has come to dissolve the UK Project in favour of the individual country projects of England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland.
We are checking in with all UK badge holders to find out which country project(s) you would like to be in so you can collaborate with other members, have the opportunity to select which team(s) you would like to join, and so we can ensure you have all the correct badges.
Please respond by PM to let us know which country project(s) you would like to be in. Please dont assume we know. We are effectively starting from scratch to make sure no one falls through the cracks.
Once you have done this, the Coordinator for Membership in the relevant country project(s) will be in touch to help get you situated.
Many thanks,
Susie
I left a message on your profile regarding the England Project about a month ago, but I do not seem to have heard back from you.
Please indicate if you still have an interest in joining the England Project by leaving a message on my profile or sending me a PM. If I have not heard from you in 7 days I will assume you do not wish to be involved at this time, and will remove your name from our list.
You would be most welcome to join in the future if you wish.
Thank You,
Wendy
Leader, England Project
This is Wendy, England Project coordinator for Integration.
I am just checking in with you to see how things are going.
I haven't seen you around the project recently, which may be for a number of reasons, but I wanted to check that everything is ok.
Are you happy with what you are doing in the project, is there something I can help you with to make you more comfortable, or have you changed your mind about being involved?
Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help you integrate into the project.
My apologies if we just missed each other.
Thank you
Wendy
