Don's Story

Life I have been married to Mollie Hammond Harrison since Christmas, 1966. We have two grown children but no grandchildren. We live on a remote 214 acre lake where fishing and swimming are excellent. School My favorite teachers at Eau Claire were Madeline Knight (Junior English), Ted Compton's aunt. She taught me to love poetry; also Jack Howell, the advanced math teacher who made Engineering math at USC not just easy but fun. Military I entered the Air Force through ROTC and was a missile launch officer, code courier and instructor for the alternate command post (a place set up to take over during nuclear war, if necessary). After active duty I served as a member of the committee to meet the requirements of the Mutual Defense Act of 1958 (with Great Britain) to share appropriate nuclear information between countries. Jobs I worked for Exxon, Eastman Kodak, DuPont and Westinghouse. I had a few patents as an engineer and was published twice, but not with much fanfare. I guess my most p...Expand for more
restigious positions were as Plant Manager of the Defense Waste Processing Facility ($2B nuclear waste facility) and as Manager over Site Maintenance Progams at the Savannah River Plant. Interests It probably surprises few that I have kept up with mathematics, especially advanced nuclear physics. I am a proponent of the Hawkins theory of parallel 10th and 11th dimensions, if that makes any sense to the reader. As a retiree, I fish and travel a little. I don't think you will see me on TV running for any office. Last notes I really miss my friends from Eau Claire High School. I didn't have many, perhaps because I had to begin working to help pay expenses at home at the age of 14 and went to full time work at 16. After that, I led a very dull social life. I did manage to date 5 girls, kissed two and married one at the age of 19. ..........still married after 42 years this past Christmas (12/25/2008). Christmas was the only time I could get off from work and school for two days. Don
