Some of Our Favorite Things

Al and LoisAl and Lois live in Fredericksburg, Va, an old city rich in both revolutionary and civil war history. Lois teaches Marketing at Stafford High School, in Stafford County, VA. Al is the Operations Engineer at E-Tron Systems Inc in Lorton, VA, a manufacturer of high quality cable assemblies and other electrical and electronic subassemblies.

On these pages will be found some of our favorite (and not so favorite but important) things. Al is the programmer and obviously the originator of most of the content. Lois is the critic. She also puts up with the many hours that I spend working on this site and it's contents. But as she says, "At least I know where Al is!"
All pages are operational but.... many future enhancements are planned. The Genealogy section is long overdue for an update - More accurate info on the English Royal Family connection and some new and more up-to-date pictures and text for my family members. The Carcinoid Cancer section is a work in progress and will be updated as my condition and medical technology changes. The Vietnam section is nearly complete but there is material to be added there too. After the forgoing things are done I may even design another FS Aircraft or two.

Simms Genealogy Simms Genealogy - These pages will detail in verbiage, pictures and sound my Simms lineage from the earliest that I know of in the 1500s thru my grandchildren today. In the not too distant future new information will be added that will solidly establish a connection to the English Royal Family.

21 pages, 34 pictures, 21 songs, 2 downloadable text files
Carcinoid Cancer Carcinoid Cancer - My purpose in creating these Carcinoid Cancer pages is twofold. The first is to keep the many members of my family and friends up-to-date on MY battle with this disease. The second is to provide a resource for the non-medical person who has the disease, suspects that he may have the disease or knows someone who has the disease. It is my hope that someone who does not know he has the disease may recognize early symptoms and insist that his or her Doctor run a simple test or two to diagnose the disease.
6 pages, 34 pictures, 1 song
Vietnam Vietnam - My Tour of Duty - On these pages will be found the story in pictures and words of my military service in the Republic of South Vietnam. Most of these pages are also the story of the Radar Section of the 1/14th Artillery. I have included a little about my training for this mission and about the training that I gave to others afterwards so that they could also accomplish their mission.
22 pages, 340 pictures, 15 songs
Flight Simulator Flight Simulator Scenery - On this page will be found a recreation for Microsoft's Flight Simulator 2004 and 2002 of the Vietnam War Chu Lai, Vietnam military base and about 50 surrounding LZs. I was a young soldier there in 1967 and 1968 and some of this scenery is based on my memories, photos and letters home and other parts on the memories of others. I have endeavored to make it as accurate as possible within the constraints of the software and my abilities with it. There are no bullets and bombs but there is much that a Veteran who was there will recognize and I hope that it will resurrect some pleasent memories for you. And coming soon is a very large area south of Chu Lai including Duc Pho and over 100 more LZs.
Other Websites That I Have Designed
