Just after High School went into the USAF where I spent 3 of my 4 year enlistment in Germany. I met and married a British girl while in Gemany. After my tour of service, we moved to California where I got a job with the US Goverment working for the US Bureau of Reclamation as a pumping plant operator. While there, our two children were born. We got tried of the heat in the Central Valley and moved to Colorado. Still working for the USBR, but this time as a Hydropower Plant Operator. After a few years, I moved up into the Control Center, where I spend the rest of my working days running a power system by computers. In 2008, I retired from the Goverment with 41 years of service. Since then, I have been busy with travel, volunteer work, being a vendor at different fairs, doing LEGO displays, and just keeping busy.
