After SV, I went to the University of Delaware and received a Bachelor
of Electrical Engineering without distiction - I was damn lucky I made it through. I met my wife at UD after she transferred in her Junior year (she helped me make it through). We were married Dec 30, 1967. Since it was Jan 1968 when I finished, I decided to enter the Air Force and headed off to Officer Training School in Feb. We relocated to Fairborn, OH, where I was stationed at Wright-Patterson AFB. My son, Donovan, was born there in 1971 and was raised for the next 9 years as an AF brat. It was during this assignment when I took advantage of an opportunity to get a Master of Science in Electical Engineering at Ohio State University. (Why not? The AF paid for most of it.) After all of that things were pretty hum-drum. The Air Force moved us around until we decided to settle down in NH for 22 years. During the moves I got to take a few system safety courses at University of Washington and USC and, of course all of the professional military education courses. My son grew up, had too much fun at UNH and almost didn't graduate, but appropriate pressure saw him through. He finally finished and has been working for several years as a network consultant. He married in October 1999. |

Model Railroading, now that I have a real basement I can start a layout.
Wargaming: I've always had an interest in military history and
simulation of battles. I even partnered with a friend in Nashua, NH, to publish a couple games. |
I enjoyed chemistry and really enjoyed helping Mr. Ruth set up the
labs for our experiments. The hard part for me was English with Mrs. Muldoon - I don't think I've read a novel since. But, I did marry an English major! I enjoyed being the manager of the basketball team, even though the student managers don't seem to get any respect from the team. Oh, yes - "Yes, now you know! That's what it was like, to ..." Simon Stimson from "Our Town". Yes I did make a few trips through Peterboro, NH the town that was the basis for the play. I'll add more as I think of them. I'm really looking forward to getting to see some old classmates to renew old friendships. |
