Robert's Story

Life Left High School and went to HACC. Completed one year, decided I needed something else and joined the Army. Entered as a Private in Jan 1967 and retired from U.S.Army Ordnance Corps as a Lt. Colonel in Aug 2007 (Vietnam Vet). Did a number of engineering jobs in the Aerospace and Defense Sector, including Chrysler Defense, Emerson Electric, McDonnell Douglas, RCA, and GE, VP of Equipment Operations for Matheson Tri-Gas, and finally my own consulting business. During that time I had time to start a family, get divorced and get remarried. I now have 7 kids, 7 grandkids (eighth on the way), a loving wife and am currently retired and moved back to Boiling Springs, Pennsylvania.
