I like to ski, I like astronomy, I like rural living and children and animals and I love my wife. I'm not a complicated man, but I live on a very screwy planet, people wise.

Page had served in the military for six years but was never posted overseas. He was a psychological operations specialist and missile repairman who was last stationed at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, the sources said.
