Dan's Story
Life
Married to Jan Locey.
After high school I worked for a few years at Yorktown Industries in Lakewood before I joined the USAF. I retired from the AF after 20 years and hired with Lockheed Martin to work at Beale AFB California as a software engineer. Retired from Lockheed in 2008 and we departed on a life on the road in our motorhome. After 7 years we decided to settle down in Ocean Park, Washington. We purchased a home overlooking the pacific ocean and we are enjoying our retirement.
All the places I have been over my life since high school are in my communities so you can see where I have been stationed.
School
So many memories it's hard to just pick one or two. All my teachers had an impact on my life, some were good and others not so good, but they all made an impact.
It's a much different world now. I don't want to do it again. I should have taken school a little more seriously, but I am doing ok in life. And not passing ...Expand for more
that algebra regents test (after taking it twice) has not been a major disappointment in my life. Whew! Sorry Mr. Harvey.
Workplace
Lockheed Martin System Administrator/Software Engineer maintaining a SGI/Sun based network based at Beale AFB, California. My job allows me to continue to support the "blue suiters", and because I am retired Air Force I feel a special bond with them. Doing my small part to support our warfighters in this crazy world gives me great satisfaction.
2008: Sold the Harley and ATV as we unload most of our belongs to allow us to live and travel in our new RV, an 2008 Monaco Diplomat 40 foot motor coach. The new website for my personal weather station and webcam is: travelingrvwx.com.
Be sure to drop me a note in the bulletin board section if you stop by are read this...it's nice to hear from old friends.
Thanks for reading...
