Robert's Story

For what it's worth, here's the story of my life. I worked at Ford after graduating in Jan 62 and went to Michigan Tech in the western Upper Peninsula in Sep. I messed around in school for the next 5 plus years with my most notable accomplishment being that I was married in 1966. I finally graduated from Tech in 1967 (Math) and was fortunate enough to get into the Air Force moments before I was drafted. After deciding to make a career of the Air Force, they sent me to study electrical engineering but that was interrupted by a rare neuro-muscular disease called Guillam-Barre Syndrome which left me with considerable weakness below the elbows and knees. I had to leave the Air Force after nearly 9 years of service. We (now with 3 kids, boy, girl, boy), moved to Madison, WI where I worked in a Forest Service lab for 3 years and industry for 5 years.

t me and I accepted a position in electrical engineering at Michigan Tech primarily as their academic advisor. After 19 years I retired in 2003. My wife and I live in a small home about 75 feet from Lake Superior near the community of Keweenaw Bay. Our kids live in OH, MN, and IN and we have 2 grandchildren with one on the way. After retirement we took some cruises which were really cool but haven't travelled much since 2007 because airports tend to piss me off. Life now consists of puttering around the house (snow/grass removal), reading, Netflix, and exercising. I had a small heart attack in Mar 09 and gained a couple of stents. I'm now trying to lead the life I should have led the previous 45 years! I welcome any conversation with former classmates although I realize that I've done a lousy job of keeping in touch. People most likely don't even remember me. Bob
