, Morocco, Sudan, Nigeria, and Thailand to name a few. After that, most travel was more civilized to Western Europe U.S. and the Far East including China.
Married in 1977 and lived in Tewksbury from then to 1985 when we moved to NH. Have 8 step-children that I consder my own and 7 grandchildren that range from 6 months to one getting married in August '13. Still live in NH and we have a cabin in Lubec Maine where we spend a few weeks every summer.
Still consulting about 1/2 time now -- I like not traveling so much and having more free time. Will be in Vegas in September doing a Seminar and was invited to give a talk to a group in Minneapolis later that same month. Also been asked to author a chapter of a technical book being put together for industry and colleges.
That's it for now -- happy to talk to anyone who wants to contact me... Look forward to hearing from some.
