The Editor
My story began a few years before WW II in Ravenswood Hospital on Chicago’s North Side . When the war broke out in Europe, my family broke up too: my father went to the Army Air Corps and I went with my mother to Red Lodge, MT. I got to Montana just in time to enroll in the 1st grade.
Twelve years later, a few months after graduation from high school, I left Montana for the US Navy. After 3 years of service, I returned to Montana and began engineering studies on the GI Bill at Montana State in Bozeman. Some years later, I graduated and went to work in Seattle for the Boeing Co.
In the early 60's, I left Boeing to for Stanford Research Institute in Menlo Park, CA. I’m now retired, but still live in California.
That's about it for my life up to now-- in this blog I will try to fill in some of the details as I remember them, and add other comments and recollections.
