Where in the World is Red O’Laughlin Now?
Travel is a wonderful thing to do. I’ve learned so much from the 60 countries that I have had the opportunity to visit over the years. Almost every one of them were in some relationship to being in the Navy for 31+ years. I’ve been asked many times, what is
What is Your Answer to Balance in Your Life?
