Robert B Morrow Jr.:  

power projects at the AF APL and was selected in 1966 for an assignment with the US Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) located at Germantown, MD. It was such an interesting job that I resigned from the Air Force, effective in 1970, to become the AEC Manager of the Multi Hundred Watt Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator (MHW-RTG) Program. These space nuclear electrical power sources were flown on the DOD's LES 8 & 9 and NASA's Voyager I & II spacecraft in 1976 and 1977, and are still generating power today. After raising and educating four outstanding children (a lawyer, a doctor, a social worker, and a teacher), working 23 years in space nuclear power, and serving 33 years in federal service, I retired on May 31, 1986 from the US Department of Energy. I became bored after about four months and decided to try car sales, which lasted a little over two years. A former boss in AEC wanted me to go to work for him in the area of space nuclear power project management, I could not refuse his offer. Orbital Space Systems was my new employer. While at Orbital I was involved in the development of the space nuclear electrical power sources for NASA's Cassini spacecraft. I retired for keeps after about ten years with Orbital (Age 65). Since retirement I played more golf, not better, but more. I have taken up radio control model sail boating, battery powered boating, and model air plane flying. I have built 68 ship and airplane models which are hanging or displayed in the computer and game rooms. Home repair keeps me occupied as well. We have been to Italy, Ireland, Scotland, Hawaii, Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Grand Canyon, Hilton Head, Myrtle Beach, Las Vegas, and Canadian Rockies. On many of these US trips we drag along golf clubs and play several times during the visit. We will continue to travel as long as we are healthy and retirement money lasts. We now have seven grandchildren, Lauren & Emily (Ken's girls), Lindsey, Morgan & Nicholas (Greg's kids), Christopher (Ginnie's son) and Abby (Amy's daughter). Below revised August 23, 2015 On September 25, 2014 Kay and I downsized from our 4 bedroom 2 story to our retirement community 2 bedroom single story duplex in Homewood at Willow Poods in Frederick, MD, just four miles north of our former home. The address is 100 Homewood Lane, Frederick, MD 21702-3381, just off US 15, if you care to give us a call, 301-304-5415, and come visit sometime, please do! We sold the stair lift, the n-gage model trains, snow blower, one bedroon set; gave away computer desks, easy chairs, sofa and had a garage sale for two days. It was a big job getting rid of 44 years of stuff in the former house. The move went well, we were able to get both cars in the new garage on the first night in the new home! Now we are well settled in and love our new digs. The former house sale was final closed on July 30, 2015 after being listed for almost ten months. With some of the receipts of the house sale Kay now has a new Subaru Preza sedan which replaced her loved 1996 Honda Accord. In September 2015 we are told we will become greatgrandparents, Laren Gordon, our older granddaughter is expecting a son. The whole family is so excited! We are well and Blessed, thanks to God!
