Moved with GPS to Colorado Springs when GPS went operational in 1986. In 1987, moved to Santa Maria and worked again at Vandenberg. Have stayed involved in Aerospace since.

l 2018 when I retired from GD. Worked two more years for Lockheed Martin as a Spacecraft Engineer then retired for good to Southwest Colorado. Don't play drums anymore but picked up Guitar and play Bass Guitar too.
Got married in 1986 and have two kids, a daughter and a son. Both kids graduated with bachelor's degrees from NMSU. Daughter is in the Air Force working in aerospace medicine. Son graduated with a master's in microbiology from Colorado State in Fort Collins and works for the state of Massachusetts in vector borne lab.
Don't get back to the Central Coast often enough, miss it terribly. Daydream of riding my bike from Pismo up to SLO on 227 and back down South Higuera then back to the Five Cities...
