Carlton's Story
After leaving Hoopa High I would do a couple of years at Shasta College coming out with an AA in Machining in the spring of 1980. A few months after that I would move to Torrance, Ca (LA area) where I would spend the next 4 years learning the trade. As you can imagine LA got old pretty quick for a kid from an indian reservation. I would go to work for a place called China Lake Naval Weapons Center as a machinist the first working day of 1984. China Lake is in the upper Mojave desert between Bakersfield and Death Valley......hot as hell and butt ugly.

ng my 11 years with the Navy as a civil servant I would again return to school for a many year effort to earn a 2 year education in Electronics which I finished at almost 40 years old with well over a B gpa. I 'll condense the story some and say that Lockheed Martin hired me before I graduated the ET program moving me to Fallon, NV as a electronics technician where I still live with my wife Christine and my 2 mini dachshunds Copper and Shadow. I didn't get around to having any kids of my own. I currently run a machine shop on an electronic warfare training range for a large defense subcontractor.
John Mohon and I did an Alaskan motorcycle run early summer 2014. 4000 miles in 10 days.
