My name is Robert Tracy.  I was born in Lafayette, Indiana in 1948. Joined the Marines in May, 1967.  By November of that year I was in Vietnam.  I served with Echo Co., 1st Reconnaissance Battalion as a Field Radio Operator.  Was married in October, 1969.  Was back in Vietnam in December of that year, serving with H & S Co., 1st Military Police Battalion. 

After an Honorable discharge in May, 1971, I started at Purdue University studying, off and on, for most of that decade, Fine Art.  Lacking two semesters for graduation, I went on my own in 1979.  (See my art at The Art of Robert Tracy)

My wife, Linda, and I have two daughters, Gretchen and Heather, both married to former Marines.  We have three grandchildren, Dominic (18) and Francesca (15).  And Axel (2).

I shoot photos once in a while, not every day.  I look for simple subjects that are possibly boring, but I hope sometimes interesting.  Most of my photos are taken around Lafayette, Indiana.
