Bill Robinson:  

Greetings and salutations, Some may remember me as Billy Gene or Jelly Bean, but now I go by Bill. My family moved to Tacoma, Washington the Fall of '63, or I'd have graduated from Sylacauga High in Alabama in '66. After we moved I went to Franklin Pierce in '63, and then we moved to our new home in Puyallup (pew-all-up), Washington the Summer of '64, and I graduated from Puyallup High in '66. I made many friends in Washington, but long to connect with the kids I grew up with in Alabama. After High School I worked a year at Boeing, then went in the Marines (Semper Fi). Actually Dennis Holmstrom and I got busted street racing behind the old Mormon Church in Puyallup trying to impress girls, and I enlisted to stay out of jail. My Dad said that was like hanging myself to avoid the firing squad, oh well. After Vietnam I came home somewhat broken and messed up and married my first wife, Donette, a beautiful and sweet young lady who eventually ran out of patience waiting for me to grow up.

I would like to oblige her, but I believe there is nothing to be gained in the effort at this late date as I've grown too attached to having an emotionally arrested 16 year old brain in a 67 year old body. I work hard to be a bad influence and corrupt whoever is hanging around. After the Marines, as I grew older (not up) I had many jobs & hobbies. I was a photographer, built/raced 26' T'bird sailboats to name a couple. Since I had a high aptitude for math and logic, I found my way into the computer industry. Some may know that Microsoft is located up here. Sadly I did not work for Microsoft and become fabulously wealthy, a fact that still bothers me. Eventually I earned a BS in Computer Science and an MS in Systems Management and worked as an IT Manager/Director, CTO, ...Expand for more
