Workplace
Started out heading for a career in advertising after college but got bit by the "aviation bug". worked hard to get all of the ratings I needed to do it and started out flight instructing and flying charters. Got a corporate flying job in 1976 which lasted a year then another in 1977 that lasted the next 14. Got hired by United Airlines in 1989 and thought I had it made. But, 911, Bush's war on both Iraq and organized labor almost did us in. We'll see. One day at a time -
Update- Now retired and living in Roscoe, IL . Spend summers at our cabin in Post Lake, WI, and winters somewhere warm. Life is good!
