martin's Story
Got my Masters in Electrical Engineering from U of IL in 1973.
Got my mask from Pritzker in 2020.
Here's a video of RFK jr on his book 'the real anthony ...'

Never did want a 'career', just occasional decent paying jobs.
Traveled for 5 of my first 10 years out of college. Got as far as Pakistan in 74.
(Afghans used to love Americans, but no more-- thanks to NeoCons.)
Was too sick with dysentery to continue, so I turned back toward Europe.
Took a Capitol Airlines flight back from Germany. Over the Atlantic, the pilot said:
"we're going to vote on where we land-- NYCity or WashDC." DC won even
though the original destination was listed as NY. Imagine doing that today!
The freedoms lost in just half my lifetime are many-- thanks again NeoCons.
I've worked in California designing radar, in Galesburg IL.
designing microwave ovens and in Champaign IL on the Microtron and
various consulting jobs. I progressed from systems engineer to
electronics designer to programmer to Ron Paul activist.
I met Betty at a contra-dance and asked her out to an underwater
hockey practice. She passed the test and we now have Claire and Thor.
Had them at home with a fantastic midwife from Iraq!
I was a very serious Underwater Hockey player until I developed an
Atrial Fibrillation problem. What do you expect when you swim underwater
lap...Expand for more
s every lunch hour and then practice for UWHockey for 4 hours a week?
Moral of the story: all things in moderation!
Now I'm retired. I spend my time scheming about beefing
up my IRA, gardening, fixing up my house.
I started downhill skiing again, after a 25 year hiatus-- pretty daunting at
first, but the new 'elliptical' skis have made me a better skier than I was
at 30.
My 103 year old mom finally passed, and our Elmhurst house at 267 Monterey sold. Brother Bob moved
to Florida, so my only connection to Villa Park is my sister. I haunt the Coffee Shop next
to ACE Hardware at Villa and St Charles, if anyone's interested.
Well, after 13 years of phasing out all physical activity, due to my Atrial Fibrillation problem,
I have some great news! Having had two failed cardiac ablations in the past, I was not
optimistic, but was desperate enough to try one more time. And this time it worked! If
anyone out there has/had AFib, talk to me! No
more underwater hockey. : ( Here's my story: a-fib.com/a-fib-story-99-martin-johnson/
Daughter Claire had a fantastic outdoor reception and marriage ceremony Autumn 2022.
Son Thor also had a really fun outdoor reception June 2023.
Anyone can reach me at : martyj1949 AT yahoo DOT com Don't be shy! I'm not nearly as
autistic-ish as I was at Willowbrook.
