Should you wonder about my Avatar, below it is explained.

The Avatar is a photo taken of me, in the US Army, standing next to Missiles, used against Aircraft. It was in 1963, taken at Ledward Barracks, at Schweinfurt Germany on a day when at the base Arms of many types were on display at the field that day. Also, there that same day was the mighty Atomic Cannon, including the massive rounds it could fire.

I grew up around White Sands Missile Range during that time. They have a missile park and museum that is quite informative as well.
