About Me

Hello, I am Greg Marlett, a retired rehabilitation counselor who worked for 33 years with the federal government (US Dept of Veterans Affairs). I am a Vietnam Era Veteran and I have many varied interests, including veterans issues, psychology,lighthouses,poetry,human development and animals (dogs, cats, horses you name it). I am originally from the midwest, but have lived in New England for the past 30 years and currently reside in central Maine with my family. I love everything about Maine, except the long winters. I enjoy writing and blogging and have really enjoyed Squidoo, thus far. Please visit my lenses and I welcome any and all feedback.
