In 1976 I divorced and was granted full custody of my 2 year old daughter Sherry. This picture was taken on our way to my new duty station at NAS Point Mugu, CA from NAS Norfolk, VA in 1977.
I built the camper out of plywood on a 1965 chevy truck and I put a V8 chevy engine in it. We camped out on our way to California.
Being a proud single father I named my truck "SHERRY'S DADDY"
I'm so proud of my daughter and she raised me well. Now I have two wonderful grand children.
I am truly Living the Dream.
