John's Story
LIFE
Life is Good. Terrific wife, kids, grand kids (6). It doesn't get any better than this.
Well, had my 1st and last cycle accident, T-boned a lady who pulled out in front of me. My sister riding with me, broke 4 ribs slamming into me. Year plus of rehab, totaled the Harley Ultra Classic. Decided don't want to chance this again, So all done riding. Looking at antique car to replace the bike.
Ellen retired last June. She is the greatest... Can you believe, at 54 she went for her Masters and commuted from NH to RI so she could be a librarian at the Londonderry Middle School. We all are so proud of her. Her ambition is to read all the books in the school library so she could tell the kids what the book was about when they ask what to read. I think I may have read one, possibly two book at Central. Boy was I ever dumb...., I started to collect SS at 67 but still love to work and invent new military protective fabrics.
It's been great since my son Matt joined the company last year. Allows me more time to do stuff. So today do stuff.... Nothing in particular, but I do stuff that interest me. Drives Matt nuts some days, but that is what I like to do.
We love to travel. Just returned from a 15 day Viking cruse from Budapest, Hungary to Amsterdam, Holland on the Danube, Rhine rivers. Yes, there is a real red light district in Amsterdam. Great trip, highly recommend.
Off to Palm Springs,CA, in a few weeks. Ellen's bucket list. Can't wait to go. Want to go to Oatman, AZ old, abandoned town that has became tourist attraction.
WORK
Started the company in 199...Expand for more
0 and was the best thing I did even though it was the most difficult challenge of my working life. After 22 years, it still isn't easy. But Matt has taken it over, so I show up and do stuff on most days.
I had developed the technology for making light weight Nuclear / Biological / Chemical (NBC) protective fabrics that are used by the military for the Chemical, Biological hardening of the soft shelters (tents) that are deployed worldwide by all branches of the service. I have 4 patents on NBC materials including one for NBC Repair Tapes and patches for these shelter materials. This was the basis for starting to company and it took a lot of years to get it to where it is now. Matt has been a awesome help. Couldn't do without him.
We also offer a line of insulated pool cover materials for the swimming pool industry and speciality laminated products for the industrial markets. All of our sales are to a Mfg. who specializes in making pool and Spa covers. Sold mostly on the West coast but a good amount can be found at Universities and colleges that have heated pools around the country.
MILITARY
Did 4 year enlistment in USAF doing electronic equipment repair of Computer for the underground Command Post SAC Headquarters in Omaha, NB. Fantastic experience and one that I will never forget. Looking back, it reminds me of the movie, "Dr. Strange Love".
MISC.
Love to travel. Especially small ship cruses. Can't seem to get enough.
Matt and Xana have given us another grandchild. Amelia has joined her brother Jackson. What a joy they are.
Health and happiness to all.
