My hobbies are relatively challenging, I am heavily involved in the design and construction of computer controlled quilting machines now. My first machine was completed a couple of months ago, and is being used heavily by my wife of 39 years, Ms Grada S. Lamb. She is a native of the Netherlands. We met during my first assignment in Germany. I was stationed in northern Germany very close to the Dutch border where we met and have been together since.
