Roger's Story

I cleaned this up today. I removed a couple things and re-worded others. That may be cheating but it did need it. I added the pics. last night (6/28/09). The "then" picture was from around April or May of 72 and the "now" is from mid 2007. My oldest daughter, Amber, was taking advantage with the goofy face after I fell asleep in my favorite chair. I have avoided pictures for a long time now so couldn't find any others. But I will try to update it to a real "now" shot. I am a union Steamfitter in Milwaukee Wisconsin with Union Local 601. I Work away from home most of the time these days as the economy is not as great as it once was around here. I am working on Army posts out of State from Sunday through Thursday now. I'm certified in Heating, Air Conditioning, Refrigeration, Ventilation and Diesel Mechanics. I studied electronics for two years and I am certified in Direct Digital Control Systems through three Manufacturers. I also hold a black belt in Korean style karate and until recently (2 years) kept up my practice. My only real goal is to retire and raise public awareness to alternative energy sources.

ollege with a Bachelors in special education, My son (Roger)is in college for Mechanical Engineering and my youngest Daughter (Brittany) was married last year to a man I think very highly of in the Submarine Service of the U.S. Navy. They met each other in second grade and finaly tied the knot. I don't have much time for interests. My "Career Choice"(HA) requires constant study and training and I don't normally have much left over to kill time in a hobby. I am an energy nut though which fits in with my job so I'm big on getting rid of fossil fuels. I have a web site up for just that purpose but it has a long way to go to completion. I am truly Sorry I didn't get to know more of you better and hope to hear from some of you. It's never too late to make a friend. Unfortunately my Military Service left me some what confused and I don't associate very well with others so I am a hermit. I would like to regain some of the old memories. I have forgotten so much of those years I can't believe it. If anyone cares to write, I'll be happy to chat. About almost anything. I'm away allot though so response will be a little slow. Best wishes to all of you and hope to hear from you. Roger
