Wm. Art's Story
Life
HI all,
Let's see, after I graduated I went to Chabot for about a year then joined the U.S. Navy.
The Navy trained me in electronics and I spent the next 10 years working on aircraft electronics.
Came back to Hayward in 79 and went to work at Naval Air Rework Facility (NARF) at NAS Alameda.
After the NARF close I worked for a hi-end security company (prisons, military bases, international borders) in San Jose. They moved to Texas, I stayed here
. I then worked field service for Automotive diagnostics (smog machines, engine analyzers, data systems for automotive repair facilities).
Got a better offer and returned to a company I worked for briefly between security and automotive. they made down hole oil exploration equipment, I did in house manufacturing and field work (yes, I worked on oil r...Expand for more
igs). They closed the doors in 2004.
I worked in Livermore, building wet etch benches for semiconductor and medical manufacturing.
During all this I got married in late 79 (34 years and still counting), have three kids, 2 girls 1 boy(JR). They all graduated from THS. We have four grand-kids who currently live in K.C..
Started riding motorcycles in 1970, and still do.
I still live in Hayward, just around the corner from where I grew up.
For those of you who remember me and might be wondering, Diane and I were briefly married (69-70). Lets just say that didn't work out.
update: got layed off March 2012, unable to get rehired (there's not much of a market for 60+ year olds), so I've retired, at least started drawing SSI.
Drop me a line if your so inclined, I enjoy hearing form my old friends.
