and Started work as a computer programer (who could have guessed that?) at North American in Downey.
In 1964 I joined IBM in Houston TX for 4 years working on the Apollo project. Shortly after moving there I flew back to Hawthorne to get married to my fiance whom I met at LBSC.
In 1968 I transferred to Atlantic City NJ to work on a new FAA air traffic control system. The next year I transferred to Palmdale CA to help install the new FAA system.
A few years later I transferred to Westlake CA to work on Federal Govt projects.
In 1978 I transfer...Expand for more
red to San Jose's Santa Teresa Lab as a developer of IBM's IMS database system.
In 1993 I retired from IBM and joined Visa to help redesign and rewrite Visa's Credit and Debit card systems.
Finally in 2001 I retired and moved to Escondido CA.
Present: I produce the monthly newsletter for the San Diego World Affairs Council - North County Chapter. I spend a lot of time researching foreign and domestic issues. We have taken the usual trips and cruises. We have two daughters and 3 grandchildren. Who would have thought such a popular hunk as I would end up with such a nerdy career?
