Steve's Story

Wow, the last time I saw anyone from High School was 1979. I didn't have many friends in High School. I was sort of the prototype computer nerd. I spent my entire life programming computers. By 1989 I was having a very successful career at Apple Computer in the Macintosh networking group, I still have a shrink wrapped copy of Apple Computers first print server Lasershare. That was my baby. To make a long story short, alcohol and meth brought me to my knees. In 1989 I got clean, and with Apples support and blessing, I quit my job and moved my family to Wahington State. Of course I never left computers. Being in a small town in the nineties and having networking experience......You get it "computers have been good to me" In 2005, my wife Marlene, was struck down with Acute Myeloid Leukemia. She received a non related stem cell transplant from a German girl. My wife lived for an additional eight years, finally free of Leukemia at the end. What did she die of you may ask. She was 65 and died of surviving Leukemia. Even when you have a miracle cure, you don't live forever. In the last two years of my wives life, she lost all use of ...Expand for more
her legs. I gladly became her caregiver, 24 hours a day. I was able to lift her, bathe her, dress her, care for her for the last two years of her life. I kept her out of the hospital and was with her till the very end, breathing her last breath with her. Did I mention that I was married to Marlene in the hospital. I was in the Air Force, the day before our marriage, I was on a motorcycle and hit by a car that ran a red light. I ended up in the hospital for over 6 months. We went ahead and got married a few weeks after the accident. I was in traction, blood still dripping everywhere. I didn't come home, to my new wife for over six months. Oh yes, they amputated my leg in 1973. I have a wonder new C-Leg that is amazing. On board computer of course. So my life is starting over, I live in Washington in a big house that used to have a family in it. Now it is just me and my Scottie Dog Matilda. I am retired, to keep myself busy I program computers (working on an IPad idea), and I grow Marijuana. My grow is a small boutique grow, hydroponics all indoors. Nice supplemental income for retirement. Thanks for letting me share Steve Schwartz
