Lately, I have not been doing very well.
I lay at night and cannot sleep as I remember things from my past.
I have had a very interesting life and I have considered writing a book before it is to late to do so.
While looking at backup files on an old hard drive I found three documents that I wrote over 10 years ago. These were emails that I sent to Renae after meeting her.
I am going to post those three emails as the cliff note version of MY story.
First email:
I am writing this series of three emails to tell a little about my past and myself as a way of telling the basic story easily.
I am retired, At least when my company lets me be. I get lots of calls and requests to do “things” for them. Mostly, they ask me to do presentations, design work, and regulatory compliance assistance.
I have had a rewarding career that has been filled with accomplishment and satisfaction.
I guess I could start even farther back and say that I had a great surrogate family adopt me when I was a kid. They have been part of my life ever since. Most of them are passing away or are already gone. They instilled in me many good habits and ideas that have served me well all my life. I have always been honest and generous with my family and by extension all the people around me. I grew up with the attitude that we offer help before it is asked for and we do things willingly and never grudgingly. To this day that same attitude is displayed by all the remaining family members.
I have been very fortunate in that my entire life I have worked in honorable professions, but even better I have always had the luxury of never having to work for any individual that is not ethical and honest.
My family instilled values have always guided me to do the right thing unconditionally.
This may be a longer email than you want to read but I will always answer truthfully and not hold back.
I joined the Army in 1968 because it seemed like the honorable thing to do. I went to flight school and then flew helicopters in Viet Nam for two tours. I was lucky and had a very interesting job flying a General and his Vietnamese counterpart almost all of the time I was there. I have some great stories, (not depressing but interesting). They get better every time I tell them. Many of my stories are on the web site that I am a Moderator of. It is Jeepcommander.com and my name there is the same as on Match, HueyPilotVN. I am pretty much an open book online.
After returning from Viet Nam I married the girl that wrote me a letter every day that I was over there. Forty two years ago there was a lot of pressure to marry young as I am sure you remember. We lasted seven years, long enough for her to get thru college and nursing school. I went to work in Ophthalmology. I spent many years filling in all of the possible positions in the practice. I did patient exams, scrubbed in surgery in the morning before seeing patients, fitted contact lenses, and eventually became the Administrator of a very large practice. I designed our new medical building and actually owned part of the practice, which was virtually unknown back then.
I eventually built one of the first Ambulatory Surgery Centers in Missouri, when the law was passed allowing physicians to own their own facilities.
I went on to eventually design and develop more than one hundred such facilities for different companies during the following twenty years.
About fifteen years ago a friend of mine and I developed the first Mobile Surgical Facility using all the regulatory compliance experience that we had gained building ASC’s
Unfortunately, after working together for about five years we parted ways over some ethical issues that I could not allow in the company.
After a 13 month law suit I prevailed and a new company was formed around me and my technical and regulatory expertise. That company is Advanced Mobile Hospital Systems or AMoHS. You can visit our web site at AMoHS.com to see what we do.
Now I probably told you things that you really did not care to know, but I am a full disclosure type of guy.
I will start another email that is more about my personal life as compared to this email about my professional life.
Film at eleven...Oh yes I will send you some pictures also as attachments.

Second email:
The first email about me was mostly about my career. I did mention my surrogate family and my first marriage.
I got divorced from my first wife in 1978. We never had any children. that is another story in itself. She went to California and lived with my family that I mentioned before. After a year she married the fellow who is like a brother to me. Unfortunately that time was kind of a black hole for me in my relationship with my family.
The thing that gave me the courage to get divorced, ( she was very smothering and controlling), was an incident that became a turning point in my life. The thing that happened was my personal quest to find my real father. I did find him and we talked and shared our life stories and he gave me some of the greatest advice of my life. Now this entire episode is a complete story in itself to be told later, but the one thing he told me was to do what I wanted with my life.
He had retired from the Air force and was about to retire from the post office. He had a motor home and a bass boat in his driveway and he told me that he was going to be a “Creek side Gypsy”. He also told me that most people spend their entire year working for a two week vacation to do what they really want to do. From that day forward I lived my life differently. I traveled most of the rest of my life in my profession and based all my work on accomplishment and not on time spent filling a seat at a desk.
It worked for me, from that time on I was paid for what I knew and what I could do and not for time spent doing it. For the last thirty years I have been very successful and have set my own schedule and agenda. I also maintained a home and supported a family in addition to my traveling life style. I did remarry and was married for almost twenty years and raised two sons who are now in there thirty's.
We got divorced over ten years ago. It was a combination of my traveling and some bad advice that she got from her artist friends. I was never unfaithful in my marriage, but I was gone too much. so when her friends suggested that it was a good time for her to secure her future security by divorcing me and getting half of my company stock, she did.
That is water under the bridge.
For many years both before and after the divorce I traveled mostly alone. I have crossed this country many times. I guess I do have wandering ways. I do not have to travel and sometimes do settle for a long time in one spot.
The last part of this email is about the last marriage of mine.
Actually I am going to put it in another email and send it after I send this one. It is not a happy story and I do not want to end this email in a negative way,
Bill
Third email:
The last part of this history about me is probably one of the first questions that I would think you would have. On my profile it says that I am separated. I am very honest and would not put down divorced until it is final. She avoided being served with divorce papers for months. She has been finally served with papers. We were married for over two years
Here is the cliff notes version. along with a life lesson. First the lesson, check out anyone that you ever meet especially on Match or the Internet. The short explanation is that I met a lady that seemed compatible and shared many of my interests and likes. We traveled and were very good together except that about once a year she would fly into such a rage that I would leave to escape her wrath. She would always recover in a few days and promise to never do that again. I am a very protective and caring person and I would believe her. The time between episodes began to shorten and the severity of the episodes increased. Each time I left all my family and friends would counsel me to not return. and I should have listened to them. The final straw was that she called the police and made a false report that I had hit her. I have never hit her or anyone for that matter. This happened on a trip thru Missouri. The police do not have any options but to arrest someone charge and hold them , in this case for 24 hours without Bond. She had planned this very carefully and took all my possessions, the motor coach, the Stacker, the cars and all the contents and disappeared. Out of respect for her privacy I had never had a background check done on her. After being released from the one night in jail of my life I did so. I was shocked to find that she had been in involuntary commitment to mental institutions at least seven times for Bipolar, Manic/ Depression which can be treated with medications but never cured. She had been arrested on felony charges, she had a history of five marriages all of witch ended with her taking assets and running off after charging her then husbands of domestic violence. I have documentation on all of these facts. She fled the police thru three counties in Georgia years ago in a paranoid episode where she eventually crashed and they had to break out the windows of a rental car to arrest her. By the way this is the short version.. She took all my belongings and hid for months in northern Arizona. She had a history of avoided subpoena for two years about ten years ago. There is absolutely no possible way that I will ever get back together with her and I should have never tried to help her in the past. My family and friends would shoot me if I even thought of it. I hired the best lawyers in Phoenix to handle the divorce and they have just recently found her and have served her with papers. I am about as separated as a fatal heart attack. I do not in any way miss her, I have been very relieved since this happened.
Recently thru the assistance of a detective on the fraud division of the Arizona Department of Vehicles I have recovered all of the vehicles that were sold to dealers by forging my signature to documents. All the personal property from 30 years of my life is gone, However, I can replace all the material; items and I have a healthy income and asset base. I am very disappointed in her as a human that would put another person in jail to facilitate her con. I suspect that she is already with future ex-husband number seven and I do not either miss her or feel any jealousy or loss caused by her being with another man. She currently has four felony arrest warrants because of the victims that bought the vehicles from her. I do not know where she is and I think that she is still hiding with money she has stolen. I have also come to realize thru talking with her daughter that this was caused by her mental illness and not by my actions.
Now that was not a good positive bit of information, but I am and always will be honest and not hold back.
I hope that sharing details about me will make you feel comfortable about sharing things about yourself.
