Further comments:
Rick Shaddock is a staff member of the Center for Advanced Military Science, as a U.S. Marine Veteran. For about 10 years, he has helped CAMS with our internet needs (Web site, registrations, email accounts). He freely volunteers his time and expertise, which my wife and I thankfully encourage. I am sure he will be able to learn the lessons, as he even memorized Pi out to 108 places, and was one of the first in Fairfield to realize the value of Bitcoin. He is a good example of TM keeping people in good health. He exhibits great dedication to making Fairfield and MIU great again.
