Gary's Story
Living in NC with my wife Marti. Country living - enjoy the woods & wildlife. Visit the Blue Ridge mountains as often as possible.
After SE, attended CMSC to major in music education. Fortunately, that did not work out and moved to math & science. Great time playing in different rock & jazz bands, marching band & pep band at basketball games while at CMSC for 2 yrs.
Married in 1968 when Marti and I were entering senior years of college. Marti in Nursing School at St. Luke’s - me at KU. After graduating from KU in 1969 w BS in Aerospace Engineering, went to U of Ariz in Tucson for MS in AE (1970). We were able to travel Az and visited So California over holiday breaks while attending U of A. (Attended the Mia vs KC Christmas Day game in 1971. OUCH!)
We’ve lived and worked in NY(GE), Ohio (Navy Nucs), Tampa (12 great years of Fla living when kids were young), and finally beautiful NC. Got to meet & work w folks from all over US and people from Europe and Asi...Expand for more
a. Had great times w neighbors & friends in different states. Really enjoyed the different engineering jobs, but decided to retired Dec ‘05 when I turned 60. Back to engineering doing risk assessment as a consultant in ‘06. Lots of travel to power plants in the Midwest and Southeast. Retired from engineering again in Dec 2018. Spending a little time in real estate business to keep brain engaged.
We have 4 kids and 7 terrific grandchildren all in the southeast US region. Marti keeps everyone family focused. 3 Labradors and 3 horses that keep us moving. We have been very blessed.
Great catching up w Joanie Boschenriehter (Elem school close friend & dance partner), Rick Gaines (great family pics). Judy Alminana (thanks for help w getting photos in CM) and John Spruill (fellow drummer).
