Calvin's Story
After graduation from high school, I attended United Electronics Institute (UEI or UEL), in Louisville, Ky. Graduated in Sept. 1966, moved to Dallas, Tx and took a job with Collins Radio Company. In the middle 70's Rockwell International bought Collins. In late 80s we were bought by Alcatel, a French company. We became Alcatel U.S.A. Further on, there were a succession of mergers with Newbridge of Canada, Lucent Technologies (formerly Western Electric), then a buyout by Nokia in 2016. All these were top providers of telecommunications gear, USA and international.
Traveled extensively for work and also a lot for pleasure. Been in 45 states, 2 Canadian provinces, Mexico & Peru.
