Merlyn's Story

Life has been very interesting...after highschool I attended Luther College for a year, then the Univericty of North Dakota for a year, then moved to Minneapolis and went to work for Univac as a technician. I was there until 1966 when I joined an electronic sales rep organization. I had married in 1960 and in 1967 I separated from my wife and in 1970 I met and subsequently married my present wife, Trudy. had 2 sons. in 1968 I started my own sales rep organization. In 1970 One of the companies I represented, Krystinel Corporation, hired me as their national sales manager and the following year was moved to Port Chester, NY, just outside of New York City. In 1973 I was hired by Ferronix Corporation of Rochester, NY to be their marketing manager. In 1975 I was hired by Novatran Corporation to start up and manage their California operation. By this time I had 2 sons by my first wife and one by my Present wife, Trudy. Then in 1981 we moved to San Jose, CA to start our own company, Viking Technology, Inc. We ran that company until 1995 wehn we sold...Expand for more
out to Great Lakes Chemical of W. Lafayette, IN and became a product manager in their E/M Coatings division. E/M Coating was subsequently sold to a British firm and I then left in 2003. In 2003 we moved from Northern California to Tucson, AZ. We lived there for 7 years during which time I represented Skyline Display and Design selling Trade Show exhibits. In 2009 we visited my wife's sister and her husband and fell in love with Bastrop, TX, near Austin. We were empty nestors by this time and decided to move to Bastrop, TX and downsized our home to about 1500 square feet. We are semi retired here (I like working) and have been active in our local home owner's association, Church, Wilderness Ridge (A Christian Camp for boys) as well as starting my own computer repair company called "Patient Geek". Meanwhile, my wife Trudy was diagnosed with mesothelioma cancer and she has been going through Chemo, major surgery and radiation treatments. Hopefully, the cancer is now under control. Recovery for her has been tough but she is making good progress.
