Comments:

Joined the Navy right out of school in 1974-1981 where I received advanced electronics training.

Married my Willowick grade school sweetheart, Christine Ault, in 1976. (Yeah, we were young, but when you go through puberty together, you kinda get to know a person.) We're still together and I'm still smitten worse than ever.

We managed to raise two boys Anthony & Dustin... they were both really good kids. Growing up they never even got brought home by cops once (lightweights). At this point Tony has one daughter and two sons. Dustin has two daughters and one son.

Worked in the paper industry as a process engineer and research scientist in color technology. The paper company I worked for in Erie, PA shut down the research center in 2000, so my boss and I went into business for ourselves on April Fools Day building automated industrial dye control systems. As of January 1, 2019 I retired.

June 2020 - We bought a humongous recreational vehicle and our goal is to sell the house and explore America full time.
January 2021 - Pandemic-be-damned! Sold the house in New York (still own Christine's Mom's house in Willowick). Went on the road in the RV full-time. We started in Florida and hope to be on west coast by mid-summer. If we got any more blessed, we'd have to wear halos!
March 2022 - Been on the road for over a year now. We still can't believe we get to do this!
