We are Kenny and Ginny. We call Northeast Wisconsin and Michigan's Upper Peninsula home during the summer months. Together, we enjoy recreational boating on the Oconto River and the Bay of Green Bay and camping in the cooler northern states. When the boating season is over, we become snowbirds and head south for the winter with our luxury DRV Moble Suites 5th-wheel trailer that we call Château de Sallé.
I bought the Château de Sallé in July 2018 with my late wife Nancy after our Monaco Windsor motorhome, OWFISH, was totaled in an accident.

Fort Rucker, AL
We are at the Engineer Beach Campground at Fort Rucker, Alabama for a
couple of days. I was stationed here at Fort Rucker back in 1970-1971
before going to Vietnam. Fort Rucker is the home of Army Aviation.
Anyone in the US Army that has anything to do with flying will at some
point in their military career come to Fort Rucker. To most of us it is
known as Mother Rucker. This place brings back a lot of memories for me, some good, some bad. I was stationed here when I first met my late wife Barb. No she didn't live around here. She lived in California, I was at home on leave in California when I met her. I went to Helicopter Maintenance School here and
to Flight Operations School here back in 1970-1971. After
I finished my schooling I was assigned here and worked at one of the
many airfields here. I left here in July 1971 for Vietnam. I came back
here in 1990 to attend Non-Commissioned Officers Academy. While I was here in 1990,
the US Army National Guard and Reserves were activated to active duty
for Desert Shield. That's when I decided to find a different career. Twenty
years in the military with a tour in Vietnam I felt was enough time that
I gave to my country. I wasn't going to war again. It was time for
someone much younger than me to have Fun, Travel & Adventure with
the Army. I went back to collage to earn a degree to get a real job. I
earned a degree in Avionics Engineering from Oklahoma State University
and in 1995 I was hired by the Federal Aviation Administration as an Air
Transportation Systems Specialists.
