This bio is primarily for those with whom I've crossed paths over the years. If you are in this group, please e-mail me and let me know where you are and what you are doing now.

I was born in Mineola, Long Island, New York. I have also lived in Reading, Pennsylvania; Yuma, Arizona; and San Diego, California prior to going into the Air Force.

I am now a retired U.S. Air Force Civilian. I worked for the Air Force for over 35 years. After spending 4 years in the Air Force (1953-1957), I got a job as a civilian at Dover AFB, Delaware. I worked in the C-124 Engine Buildup Shop until 1963 when the C-124 was being phased out. I was then transferred to the Aerospace Ground Equipment Branch. I worked there until 1972 when I was promoted to a foreman's position in the Vehicle Maintenance Squadron. In 1985 my wife, Nina and I moved to Austin, Texas where I became the Vehicle Maintenance Superintendent at Bergstrom AFB. I worked there until April, 1988, when I retired.

I was also a professional photographer from 1978 to 1991.

In 1992 my wife, and I moved back to Delaware.

Sadly. Nina died June 7, 2002.

I now stay busy with my shop and computer. I also enjoy spending time with my daughter, step-daughter and grandson. The girls keep me busy with their todo lists.

I have one grandchild. Let me see if I have a picture. . . . . . . . Ah yes, here's one.
