Patrick's Story
Life begins at age 51! That's when I retired from Sandia National Labs with 29 years of service, after having earned BS's in Math and Physics from NMT, a Masters in Applied Math from RPI and a PhD from Cornell in Applied Math. Sandra and I were married in '74 and we will be celebrating our 35th wedding anniversary soon.

The latest big, family event is our first grand child. Samuel Ryan, with a perfect APGAR score of 10, was born to Eric and Luisa on July 16, 2009.
