Steve's Story
Life
Helen Denny and I married in 1974. We have one son Paul born in 1985. We live in Knoxville Tennessee with 3 dogs and 1 cat.
After I droppped out of college I joined the Navy as a nuclear reactor operator and served in Vietnam (USS Truxton) and the submarine service (USS Tunny SSN 682. After the Navy I went to work for Bechtel Power Corp. in San Francisco as a startup engineer. I've been in engineering ever since.
Helen and I have lived in California, Texas, 3 places, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, New York, Pennsylvania, 3 places, and Oklahoma and now Tennessee.
In June 2008, I retired from the South Texas Project. I took a job with Bechtel Power Corp at the Watts Bar Unit 2 project. I work in control systems doing plant licensing and contract management.
Before I retired from the South Texas Project Nuclear Power Plant, I worked as a system engineer in the Electrical and Auxilaries Section. I was responsible for batteries, dc systems, large power transformers, and diesel generators.
I'm a member of the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers Inc.) and do volunt...Expand for more
eer work developing standards for stationary batteries.
Helen finished her masters degree in public health in May 2007 and Paul graduated with a degree in chemistry in December 2007.
In the spring of 2007 we went to Belgium to visit Lea Caudron (Will Rogers AFS Student class of 1968) for her daughter's wedding. Lea and Helen have been great friends since they met at Rogers and Helen went to Lea's wedding 35 years ago.
We then visited France and Germany. It was a great trip. It is nice not having college bills to pay!
In February 2008 we started redecorating the house in Texas. We'd lived here 14 years and it was time. Helen did most of the work along with 2 friends we hired to help. She had to do more than we expected because I managed to fall off a step stool and break my wrist.
We sold the house in Texas just before hurricane Ike hit. We bought a fixer-upper in Knoxville so we went right into working on another house. Unlike Texas, we hired a lot of the work done.
Well this is long and wordy so I'll close. God bless everyone in the class of 1969 and all of our old friends.
