I have had a varied career, student in Japan and American Samoa, worked on the Apollo Project and actually sat in a Lunar Module. I was an Air Force Navigator, an electronic design engineer for Texas Instruments, General Dynamics, Hughes Aircraft and Raytheon. The creative arts are what I respect the most; writing words and music are my focus, whether it is lyrics, adventure novels or just playing in a band. Life is short; you have to write it down so your children will know why you did what you did.           

I appreciate acolytes and recognitions, but don't seek them out, so I couldn't list them even if they did exist.
