Allan's Story
Life
Graduated from SD Tech, '71 BS and '72 MS in Chemical Engineering, and went to work for Dow Chemical in Midland, MI. I spent 3 years in research, 5 years making Saran Wrap, and married in '74. We adopted our first child in '78. Transferred to Sarnia, ONT, Canada with Dow, worked on a new control system for Dow, and had 2 Canadian sons in '80, and '82. We moved back to Midland in '84. Worked for the Latex Plant, then information systems, then moved to Process Control. I have traveled to Sweden, Finland, Germany, Spain, Netherlands, Belgium, Argentina, Brazil, Korea, Thailand, Kuwait, and China for Dow, working on Fired Equipment projects. I am currently the Global Fired Equipment Expertise Leader for Dow Chemical. ...Expand for more
My married daughter works in Florida at a NGO (and mother to my two grandchildren), my first son graduated from Purdue with a Chemical Engineering degree and works as a Pharmaceutical Engineer for a company in Nebraska, and the youngest son graduated from Purdue with an Aeronautical Engineering degree and works for Spirit Aero systems in Wichita, Kansas, when he is not traveling the world for Campus Crusade.
My hobbies include making lace bobbins to support my wife's lace making hobby. I design and make special bobbins her arthritic hands can manipulate. And I sell them to others as well. I also love working on my 1 ton diesel truck I use to pull my 5th wheel RV to visit my children, grandkid, the Canadian Rockies, etc.
