Dad next trained to fly jets at Vance Air Force Base in Oklahoma, where his first daughter, Tiffany, was born in 1966.After jet training, he was stationed at Travis Air Force base in California. In 1968, he was honorably discharged as a First Lieutenant from the Air Force in order to pursue a civilian career in computer technology in burgeoning Silicon Valley. In 1970, his second daughter, Tara, arrived.Dad had a very successful marketing and sales career.
