Diego's Story
Life
Friends --
(This page is subject to periodic updates.)
After graduation from UMass, Amherst in 1969, I trained at Navy Officer Candidate School in Newport, RI. From there I attended and graduated from Supply Corps School and was ordered to the west coast and the USS Midway. That lasted for about a month when I received orders for Air Intelligence School and TacRon 11. I was honorably discharged in fall 1972.
I returned to the east coast and attended graduate school in English & literature. Shortly after, I began teaching in a community college in Boston. That went on until 1977 when I started a new career in technical writing.
Between 1977 and 1986, I worked for 6 companies as a software technical writer (sometimes doubling and writing hardware as well).
By that time, I was pretty well toasted with that line of work (although I was damned good!) and reentered an avocation, bicycle mechanics. Fr...Expand for more
om 1987 to 1996, I worked for a small family-run business outside Boston while my young children grew. After parting with the bicycle shop, I started temping as an office assistant.
Since 1997, I've been working mostly in the college environment. The northerly migration continues - am I in search of endless winter?
In 1964 I married a fantastic woman who I met through the internet (Yay! Match dot com!). In '65 we moved to southern Maine where we continue life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. Who says the American dream isn't still alive. I'm working in enrollment in a community college here in the "lobsta" state. My two older children have graduated from college (Penn & Brown) and my youngest is about to begin 6th grade.
The de-cession is hard, and life continues with its challenges, but we are strong and persistent. Things will be good. Cheers!
