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.

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.
Best Moment 3 day TDY to Neah Bay AFS WA. to render technical help. Typical of the remote radar site, when the job was done it was time to party.
Worst Moment having to be a part of the death and burial of a system that I had been apart of for my entire career.
Chain of Command 1849 EIS
Other Memories Removal of the computer system out of the blockhouse.........the mountain of cable, recovering the gold contacts, the magnetic memory drums, Thousands of vacuum tubes to be counted and cataloged.
