Dwaine's Story
Life
After graduation from Nishna Valley I attended Northwest Mo. State University in Maryville, Mo. I was there until I graduated. Shortly after I graduated in the spring of 1970 I ended up joining the Coast Guard for 4 1/2 years. My lotto number (remember the draft lottery) was fairly low so it was either that or being drafted. I ended up serving in California and Alaska mostly and finished up in Seattle. I met my wife in Seattle during my final months in the service. Martina (my wife) is from Tucson, AZ. After we married I went to Photography School in Santa Barbara, Ca for a couple of years and after that landed a job at the Jet Propulsion Lab in Pasadena, Ca. I worked there first in a photo lab and eventually learned about computers and moved into that area. I worked at JPL from '77 until I was laid off from there in '05. Martina is an accountant.
I am now working tech support/sales support at a small company which sells mailing products to the Bulk Mail industry. Among t...Expand for more
heir products is a small computer like gadget using software which automatically prints out barcoded tray tags for bulk mailers. People sometimes need help with this 'computer' so I offer them our customer service support. I also do web site design/maintenance and software/networking support for this company.
I have three grown children (as if your kids ever really "grow up" in their parents' eyes.) Alexandra is my oldest at 28 and is a grade shcool teacher. She is married to an FBI agent. (He doesn't carry a gun; he does surveillance in the LA area.) No grandkids yet. My second daughter is 25 and works as an office manager for a literary agent. She lives with her boyfriend in an apartment in LA. He does computer animation for movies and commercials. My son is 23 and works at E! the Entertainment Channel. They all live away from home in Los Angeles. My wife and I have been in the same house we bought in 1979 in West Covina. It is a suburb of LA about 15 miles to the east LA city.
