Daniel's Story
Attended the US Merchant Marine Academy (Kings Point) after graduation from high school. Graduated from Kings Point with a BS degree in Nautical Science, a commission in the USNR, and a USCG-issued Merchant Marine Third Mate's License. Married, a year after graduation from Kings Point, to a NYC girl - to whom I'm still married. // Worked as an officer on Merchant Marine ships of all types all over the world during my 27+ years seagoing career. Attained my Unlimited Master's (Captain) License for commanding seagoing ships of any size and type. Most of my career was on liquefied natural gas (LNG) tankers (about the size of an aircraft carrier) - including ~nine years as Captain of a couple of these ships. // Directed Special Projects in Washington, DC for three years at the HQ of the marine officers association of which I was a member. Retired shortly thereafter and worked as an independent maritime consultant for a few years until I was enticed into taking the position of Marine ...Expand for more
Ops Director for an energy company in Houston, Texas. Retired after ten years in that position in 2016 and moved back to South Carolina shortly thereafter. // Although I would have preferred to remain living in Texas, my wife & I were pulled back to South Carolina by our daughter and son, both of whom are married. Each have two kids (a boy & girl each) and live within ~three miles of each other in SC - just a few miles south of Charlotte, NC. Sooo... my wife Patty & I are now living almost exactly half-way between our son's family and our daughter's family! The magnetic draw of grandparents to grandchildren is obviously a strong force of nature!! // I have to again ask --> WHERE have all of our years gone to so quickly??!! They seem to be flashing by even more rapidly with each advancing year!! Do we have any retired quantum physicists / mathematicians in our class that have reduced this accelerating time passage phenomena into a comprehensible formula?? :-)
