My name is Stafford Cowles, I am 65 years old. I am originally from the state of Michigan, in the U.S. I am retired and have a good pension. I am divorced and I live alone in a nice house in Guatemala. I moved here from Michigan because I am tired of the cold winters there. When I was a young man, I graduated from High School. Then I went into the Army for 4 years. I was a Sergeant there and they sent me to Viet Nam. I was wounded 2 times. When I got out of the Army, I was a Police Officer in the city of Washington, D.C. (where the president is) for 3 years. Dont worry, in America, the police are your friends, they are good men. After that, I went back to Michigan and worked for General Motors, (Cadillac, Corvette, Chevrolet cars.) for 30 years, and then retired. Then I was a school teacher for a year. I have a university degree from Wayne State University, in Detroit Michigan. I enjoy many things. I like working with tools, repairing and making things. I enjoy fishing, cooking, computer, cinema, movies and reading. My favorite hobby is travel. I have been to England 6 times, Scotland 4 times, Russia 3 times, Bulgaria 3 times, Spain 2 times, Wales 2 times, Guatemala, Ireland, Ukraine, Germany, Andorra, Argentina, Viet Nam, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, and the Antarctic Continent to walk with the penguins. And, since it is right next to Michigan, Canada many times. I have also been to about 40 of our 50 U.S. States. I think this is enough for now. Stafford
