Donald's Story
Workplace
After the Navy I went to work for SpectraVision Inc. as a Electronic Repairman but had advanced to Electronic Engineer within 5 yrs. I then spent the next 5 yrs. at Sanden Int'l. as a machine shop supervisor (that was one job I truly loved). There was so much enjoyment working with the many metal cutting, welding, boring and finishing machines. Very different from the electronic environment I had been use too. A down turn in the auto industry forced me out of Sanden (I was one of the low men on the totem pole). I now work as the QC Manager at PowerFlow Sys., Inc. A manufacturer of Industrial Batteries.

spent 14 yrs. in the Navy. Left the service as an E-6, Electronic Technician 1st class. Spent time on 2 ships (USS Davis DD-937 & USS Brumby FF-1044) in the Atlantic Fleet. Therefore I spent plenty of time in the Atlantic, Carribean, the Med. and the Indian Ocean. The highlight was going to Isreal and England. Was then stationed in Coos Bay, Oregon. Okinawa, Japan and Whidbey Island, Wa. I Loved the service but felt that for my kids sake it was better to get out to raise them. In retrospect I now feel that they would have survived. Wisedom comes with age! It was at this time ('92) I moved to Texas and have been here ever since.
