 Additional Information
Last Known Activity:

After retiring in Oct. 1988 I took advantage of the GI Bill and went back to school full time to finish up my degree. Graduated from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington with a BS in Business Management. Worked for Exide Electronics for 10 years as a Quality Assurance Inspector until they shipped the factory to Mexico. Thanks NAFTA! Worked for a short time for Chloride Electronics as a Lab Technician.(QA & Design/Testing) After that I went to Corning as a Shift Tech. Maintained, Repaired and Modified equipment that produced Optical Fiber. Decided to go to work for myself so I got my Real Estate Brokers license. That was fun and profitable until the bottom fell out. Now I am enjoying my retirement and doing all those little things I didn't have time for before. Fishing, scouring the beach with a metal detector, puttering around the house, and sitting in front of this %#&* computer.

   
Other Comments:

Married to the same wonderful woman for 44 years, four kids, two boys and two girls. Livining in Wilmington, NC. close to the beach where I can persue my favorite pastimes, fishing and bikini watching. My home town of Charleston, SC is a few hours down the road and Myrtle Beach is only an hour away.
