I'm a photographer on staff at the Dayton Daily News. I retired from the Air Force on 1 June 2000-after 20 years. My last 3 years I was a photographer for the European Stars and Stripes, a 35,000 daily newspaper. What a blessing that was.

Thanks for taking the time to look at this site. I'd like to hear from you. My e-mail address is alveyr@hotmail.com
