Billy's Story
Hi classmates!
Please feel free to comment on my bulletin board. I want to hear from you. Everyone is important to me so do not be shy. Talking about shy I was the best at Southeast! Now I talk all the time, HAHA.
After graduating from Southeast in 1966, I went to the Kansas City Art Institute for 2 years in 1966-1968.
I went into the Navy from 1968-1972.
I took up electronics and tore apart and fixed radar altimeters for various aircraft. Spent 8 months on the aircraft carrier Midway (now a museum in San Diego)fixing radar equipment.
In 1973 I went back to the art institute for a year and was on my 4th year when I landed a great job with Cutler Ha...Expand for more
mmer servicing Cutler Hammer Calorimeters all over the US Canada, Mexico and China. In 1988 I started my own business doing the same work.
It is a shame I did not graduate from the Art Institute as I only had one semester of art history to complete and 2 semesters of studio painting.I was doing great but it was much easier for me to make a living in electronics over art. Now I have my business where I want it. I only work 17 weeks out of the year so now I have time for my drawing and art.
I finished my first painting in 35 years in January 22, 2010 3X4 foot "Farm Holiday"
Nice to have seen so many classmates at the 40 year reunion a few years back.
