Life After going to Azusa HS through my Junior year, I did my last year at Charter Oak HS 'cuz my family moved to Glendora. After HS, I tried going to college, but didn't have any study habits so I crashed and burned. I had learned a lot of electronics for my ham radio hobby, so I was able to get jobs in that field. I got married in '65, but crashed and burned at that too. I got drafted in '69 at age 25(!) and they sent me to Germany. After seven months there, I volunteered to go to Vietnam, which thoroughly eliminates any possibility that I might not be insane. I came home after four months there, and found myself suddenly capable of passing some college classes.

My main interests have been astronomy, music, ham radio, roller skating and computers. I started astronomy at age nine and am now more interested than ever, mostly because of all the discoveries being made with high-tech gadgets such as the Hubble Space Telescope. I also started learning to play guitar at age nine, and ended up being in a few bands over the decades, but never had much success at it. I learned a lot of folk rock and stuff like that during the '60s-70s, and that's what I still play the most (when I play at all). The ham radio has come and gone a few times, but I think it's gone for good now. It's easier to just email people. I was heavily into roller skating for a long time, and d...Expand for more
