Currently Located In: MIAMI LAKES, FL
Originally From: LANSDALE, PA
What I've Been Up To: Just retired again on 31 July 2011. Looking back 53 years, I was able to be involved in working all the sonar systems from the QHB-A through the AN/SQQ-89 series system. I enjoyed most of the jobs but working the last 18 years in new class ships' survivability program and riding the ships during at-sea shock trials will be hard to forget.
Now, I might lay on the beach, play a round of golf a few days a week or go fishing. If I get bored again, a part-time job will take care of that.
