Paul's Story

Life After high school I worked and did local music and theater. Then I made the mistake of marrying the wrong woman. Problem was it took me a decade to finally accept the fact. During that decade I joined the Army for three years to earn money for college. After the Army, I got a degree in electronics technology and went to work at a large aerospace firm -- then named Lear Seigler, now Smiths Aerospace. I learned to program computers so after a few years I wrangled a promotion into software engineering. This was just about the same time I got divorced. While working in engineering I went back to school and got my bachelors in Computer Science. Then I married the right woman! I eventually became a Systems Engineer. Which brings us to today. I live in East Lansing with my wife Leanne. We've been married 5 years, and helping keep us company are my youngest daughter Andrea (22), and my stepson Tom (16).

na where he is working to wrap up a doctorate in mathematics. As of January, at my wife and physician's urging, I retired from my position at Smiths The extra rest is much needed and as a result I'm feeling better than I have in quite some time. Overall, life is good. As long as I don't push myself too hard the good days predominate. I have a good family, a nice place to live, and no financial worries. What's to complain?!? So I do things like sort through my old pictures and pester old friends. I'm looking forward to summer when I can get out a bit. As far as health, ten years ago I was diagnosed with CREST form Scleroderma and Dermatomyositis, both autoimmune disorders. This is all rather new to me as I was working up through the the first week of this year. I'm working to take stock and figure out how much I can do without harming my health. I've taken up guitar at home but I miss the interaction with like-minded folks. Paul
