Michael Ingemi:  

Life I worked in Connecticut for 2.5 years after I graduated from college and then came back to work in Norwood in summer of 1976 and worked at Northrop. After that I worked for Data general for 10 years and Digital Equipment for 2. I worked for Raytheon for 5 years and now at my present job for 11 years. My field is Electrical Engineering (25 years in power electronics). I am married with two great kids and a great wife. My son is a junior in college. My daughter will be going to college in the fall as a freshman. My son was born premature and developed a 90% hearing loss. Even with this loss he has maintained almost a 4.0 average in college. He will be graduating with a BS in Electrical and computer engineering. I suspect he will continue with graduate school. During the summer he teaches at a camp.

He has a very dry sense of humor and enjoys poking fun at me and debating with who ever is fool hardy enough. He graduated from Norwood High.

She has developed into a very fine skater and player, enough so that she will be playing at URI in the fall on there women's club team (ranked 4 the in the U.S.). I have always thought that hockey was one of the greatest team sports. I have taught her always to look up and pass up. Setting up the play is as much fun as getting the goal. This year the team made it into the MIAA play offs winning their first game. I still play with a group at lunch just for fun. I have had the pleasure of meeting and playing with some of the best hockey players of my era. Steve Arnold who played for U. of Lowell comes and still keeps the young guys on their toes. I have continued with my education getting my masters in EE in 2001 from WPI. I did this to stay fresh and be able to stay in engineering. However I must say that the changes ...Expand for more
