David Dinges Jr.

I am fascinated by all things regarding Outer Space. I also enjoy anything dealing with aviation. I'm a retired US Army Non-Commissioned-Officer with 20 Years of Military Service: 1966 - 1986. I am married to an Italian lady I met on my first duty assignment in Verona, Italy. I retired from the Army and was hired as the first Civilian Executive Officer in the US Army Dental Corps. I moved back to the Washington, DC Metro area in 2002 and retired from Federal Service in 2011. I have a passion for reading and writing short stories and poetry. I like to travel and to spend time in Art Galleries, Museums and touring Battle Fields. My most enjoyable activities is eating hot, steamed Blue Crabs or Chesapeake Bay Oysters and drinking ice cold Draft Beer (Natty Bo when I can get it) while watching Baltimore Orioles Baseball, or Washington Redskins Football games. Well that's a snapshot of who I am. LIVE LONG AND PROSPER!
