David's Story
Life
Dave Shema, 30 years later...Married, three kids, three cats, and living in the land of Corn and Hogs (Iowa).
I lived in Bozeman (Graduated Montana State Univ in 1976 -- BSEE)until December 1984, when the small company I worked for went belly up.
My next destination was Kansas City, Missouri, where for three years I worked at King Radio, designing avionics -- including the Flight Management System that led the Voyager aircraft on its non-stop circumnavigation of the earth.
In 1987, I moved to Albuquerque, NM (where Bugs Bunny should have taken a right turn..) in search of greener pastures.
Married in 1987, and worked at Honeywell's Defense Avionics Systems Division until 1997, designing avionics for Uncle Sam's finest jet fighters and transports -- keeping the world safe for you and me.
My wife died shortly after the birth of our second child, from a brain tumor. N...Expand for more
asty thing, those tumors!
Remarried - too soon, and ended up with a total disaster on my hands. Ended that experiment less than a year later.
Moved to greener pastures once more in June 1997, to Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
I have been working at Rockwell Collins, still designing avionics for both commercial and military aircraft.
Married for a third time in November 1997. Absolutely wonderful person, we've added yet a third kid (at age 46, that is not an easy task, taking care of a crumb cruncher all over again).
Been a neat ride, these past 30 years. Drop me a line via email sometime...

And yes, I'll scare up set of then and now pix for this site.
College
Worked my way through college, three different part-time jobs to pay the bills. Work work work. Study study study.
Graduate, Yee-haw. Get a job, more work.
Fun fun fun till Daddy takes the T-bird away.
