Ed's Story
Reader's Digest Version:
USAF 1975-1979 Worked on T-38 Jet Trainers in Selma, AL, Warner-Robbins, GA and Chandler, AZ.
'79-81 Allegheny County Community College - AS in Mechanical Design and Drafting (useless!!) Wasted two years.
81-83 Penn State Harrisburg, BS in Mechanical Engineering. Great time, too much catching up on college partying I missed as a freshman out of high school. Grades could have been better, but I'm none the worse career wise.
Moved to Florida in '83, started working for Harris Corp. in '84 to '99. '99 to '04 at JDS Uniphase (what a ride!), back to Harris since '04. I design electronic packaging/microelectronics/antenna systems/radios for military/aerospace government communications hardware.
I met Joy at PSU in '82 and we got married in '84. She's from Holidaysburg, near Altoona. Four kids: Katelynn is 17, about to graduate (gorgeous and all the drama to go with it!!), Mitchell is 14 and ready for fo...Expand for more
otball at Mel-Hi (I'm afraid of how big he is going to be!!), Matthew is 11 and just a sweet, intellegent, gifted kid (loves to draw and create), and Madelynn, 9, is my Tom-Boy, veteranarian, dancer!
Still into cars (Mustangs). I've built a Cobra replica, finally sold my '70 Fastback in '07 that I got in '77 :-( and I'm completing the concourse restoration of a 1969 Mustang Mach I 428 Super Cobra Jet.
I live in a little town called Indialantic, FL, on the East Coast, about 35 miles south of the Space Center and an hour from Orlando, blocks to the beach and great views of Shuttle/rocket launches.
The one person from my past who I'd most like to see again is my Dad, because he passed away too early to see his Grandkids.
Still obsessed with cars. I've moved on from building models to the real thing. Cobra kit in '92-92, my '70 Mustang and a 1969 Mach I 428 Super Cobra Jet that I restored to original concourse level condition.
