 Hello Classmates,  My name is Clint Wilson, I live in sunny San Diego, CA and I work in aircraft maintenance. I started working on my degree when I completed High School but life changed and I had to set it aside for a host of reasons. All these years later, I have some time to complete what I started. 2 classes left! I have a blended family, I have 2 kids and my wife has 2 kids. The youngest is 24 and serves in the Air Force, the oldest just turned 30 and lives in Cleveland, OH. The two kids in the middle are the same age and actually born 1 day apart in the same year. One is my Daughter and the other is my Wife's Son, my step-son. My Daughter lives in Oklahoma City and my Step-son lives in Fayetteville, AR. As you can tell, we are spread out all over the USA.  I am looking forward to getting to know each of you over the next 7 weeks. Good luck and speak with you soon.  Clint
