Gordon's Story
Life
Susan and I have a big family, and have been homeschooling for 18 years. We've been in Sugar Land since 1989. Most of our kids are teens or older now, four are in college. FYI, my F.B. username is gordonrvaughan.
Susan works as a kitchen designer. We've also got our own small research company, FDC, and several websites.
School
I went to Lanier Junior High - now Middle School - from 1975-78 and Lamar High School from 1978-81.
Before that, it was Will Rogers Elementary (1968-75). I'm sorry it has now been torn down (2006), along with the Taj - the HISD Administration Bldg - next to it.
By the way, I've tried looking for a number of my teachers on the internet with virtually no success, but would love hearing from y...Expand for more

College
I went to Caltech for two and a half years and liked the science classes, but was disappointed in the engineering. Susan was in Austin, so I transferred to UT in 1984 and finished there, with a B.S. in Aerospace Eng.
We started grad school at UH Clear Lake (electro-optics and business). I liked it, but Susan didn't; anyway, we ended up moving to the southwest side of Houston.
Workplace
I worked on the space shuttle program, both during summers for NASA while in college, and after graduating for Rockwell. I left to start my own research company, FDC. It's still small, but we've done a lot of advanced research in system modelling, with applications to psychology, math, and other disciplines.
