Randy's Story
After HS went to WSU in Pullman and got BS and MS in EE. Went to work for IBM in Boca Raton, FL. Transferred to IBM in Charlotte, NC, then to Tucson, AZ, and finally to Burlington, VT, where I live and work today.
I'm married to another IBM'er - a software engineer that's also been there since graduating from Oklahoma State. I write software that IBM engineers use to design the CPU chips for their P and Z lines of (large) computers. I have one step daughter that's a geek and a junior at Rensselear Polytechnic Institute (Troy, NY) studying computer game design - although her parents want her to get the CS degree first :-) She's doing both!
Since we live by Lake Champlain,...Expand for more
we enjoy boating, water skiing, and wake boarding - although the season is fairly short. We also enjoy snow skiing - we live less than an hour from several ski resorts. About four years ago we started golfing again after many years away from it - what a frustrating game! Hint: lessons help!
I don't get back to Richland very often, but was back a few summers ago for the boat races. Amazing how much it has changed. I'm now trying to get back at least once a year since my parents are starting to get old (they're about 80 now...)
I'm looking for a nice warm place to retire - any suggestions? I'm thinking about the Table Rock Lake area near Branson, MO.
