Jay's Story
Well after graduation I worked at Publix full time while going to MDCC.
No easy task. I saved up a little $$ and then went full time earning a degree in aviation....should have taken law...Well in '75 I met my wife and got married at the old age of 20!!
What were we thinking?? But still married to the most beautiful person I know, it was obviously meant to be. I found my soulmate. But whoa! Now I was married, back to part time college, and full time work to pay for rent, food, electricity!! You know they cost money?? I didnt when I was living at home....my father did..but I didnt, at least according to him.
Well I then went to Barry University to stay close to home and finished my degree, while also working as a flight instructor in FLL building my experience and hours. I f...Expand for more
lew for many different companies in the south florida area, corporate, charter, regional airlines, etc. Then finally went to work for our beloved Eastern Airlines! I finally got the break we all look for! Well at least for a year...In 1989 I got hired by United Airlines, and am now a 767 Captain based in Chicago. Well that is just to damned cold for this Floridian, so, I live just south of Atlanta, in Fayetteville Ga. When we moved here, it reminded me of North Miami in the 70's, friendly, small town feeling. No more...it has grown to a very populated area.
So, I guess we will be looking for our new area, and a "retirement" home. Where did the time go guys? I still see many of you in memories, acting as cool as we could at the ripe age of 16...time flies.
Best to All,
Jay
