Earl's Story
I have spent 5 years and thousands of hours developing a revolutionary and comprehensive new investment system I call MAPS that has proven to be very successful. I have spent the past several months looking for a partner to help me further develop and promote it.
At the moment I am in the process of negotiating a business relationship that could be by far the most important one of my life. We sold our home in Endicott, NY in Dec. 2005 and moved permanently to our home in Sarasota, Fl which we have owned since Jan. 1997. We live in a community called The Meadows and belong to the Meadows Country Club which has three 18 hole golf courses, 17 Har-Tru lighted tennis courts, 3 restaurants and an activities center and a fitness center. Our home overlooks the 15th fairway of the Highlands golf course. We love it here.
I retired from IBM in Dec 1991 after developing computers for 36 1/2 years and joined my future wife ( my 1st wife and I divorced in 1985) in her business in Oct. 1993. We married in Sep. 1996 and sold the business in Dec. 1999.

d 7 grandchildren. Would you believe that my ancestor Wilhelm Blum who fought in the Revolutioary War with 4 of his brothers (Isaac was killed), had 119 grandchildren from his 11 children. He somehow found time to have 11 children even though he fought in the War for 6 years and was only home a total of 2 days as the Army passed through.
I play competitive tennis 3 times a week and occasional golf but MAPS keeps me extremely busy managing my own portfolios and promoting it! We are blessed with visits from frinds I've made along the way in Endicott, at WPI and at IBM, etc.
My Dad passed away in 1964, my Mom in 1992 and my 3 older siblings Bea, Marian and Evonne are also gone leaving only me. Unfortunately, my only great-grandchild, Mariah Lynne left this Earth 2 years ago at age 10 months.
I got my BSEE in Electrical Engineering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute in 1955 and joined IBM in my hometown, Endicott. While at WPI I played varsity football (we had an undefeated team in 1954 that outscored our opponents 163 to 13), basketball, track and tennis and earned 15 varsity letters which is a school record and could also be the NCAA record. I was inducted into the WPI Athletic Hall of Fame in 1984.
