Rob's Story
Life
In Oct '06 I became single again after 15 years with my now ex.
After getting out of the Air Force in '79 I became an engineer in the semiconductor industry. I have lived in Korea (~3 Yrs), and have traveled the world extensively (In fact I am writing this from Taiwan). I have sailed in Greece, Mexico, Canada, BVI, and the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. I lived on and sailed my sailboat (41' Morgan Ketch) from northern Florida across Cuba to Mexico, and back to Texas (a boyhood dream). I have flown my own plane throughout the US (another boyhood dream) but have not made the flight to Alaska yet (maybe soon). My next big adventure (maybe)- the great loop, from Florida up the eastern seaboard to the St Lawrence waterway, Then west through the great lakes. From there we head south to the gulf and back to Florida, this time in a Trawler. I enjoy cruises, the longest was 18 days from Miami to Los Angeles through the Panama Canal.
I just moved from New Mexico back to Cupertino (Dec 26, 07). Guess I just can't stay away....Expand for more
Update-12/13/12
I just got back from 2 1/2 years living and working in Suzhou China. Enjoyed my time there and took many opportunities to explore different areas of China as well as Thailand (my favorite), Philippines, Viet Nam, Singapore, and Hong Kong.Don't know where I am heading next but right now I am in Eugene Oregon. This is quite a change from the orient but it is home.
School
I had a lot of great times in school, but it took a few years for me to realize how good they were,,, or were they?
My favorite teachers all seem to be shop teachers. Ray Chan in auto shop, Tullio Bertini in electronics and photography, and Mr Daniels in machine shop. I was never much of a social creature in school, and that continues till today, and didn't take an active roll in extra-curricular activities, and now I wish I had done more of both. When I went into the Air Force I moved on with my life and lost touch with just about everyone from high school, another thing I wish I hadn't done. I would love to see everyone at a reunion.
