Hometown

I was born in Denver,Co.but that was an accident as my actual hometown is Cheyenne,Wyo. My folks were in Denver visiting and I was a little early. My dad worked for a domestic airline and we moved about every 3-4 years so I have no place I really call my

Places I've been

High School Name (City, State)
There is not enough room here to list the high schools I attended but the last one,and the one I attended the longest(during 2 separate enrollments) was Lennox High in Lennox,California. Lennox is a small town at the very southern tip of South Central,L.A.,just south of Inglewood and west of Watts.Populated by mostly African-Americans and Latinos,being white meant learning to live with and respect other cultures.Of course,at school it meant get along or get in trouble.I graduated in 1973.
College Name
I am currently enrollrd at Oxnard College taking Addictive Disorders studies in order to get my certification in drug and alcohol counseling with an eye towards perhaps opening my own small office somewhere that needs my talents and services.
College Graduation Year
Have'nt graduated yet! I'll let you know. I might go on to a minor in psycology.
Occupation(s)
I spent the magority of my working life as an aerospace machinist and self taught manufacturing engineer. During the Reagan years I worked for a company in Hartford,Conn. that took three weeks to get into after being hired due to the top secret nature of the contracts from the defense industry. I had a security clearance 3 levles below the highest you can get. I have also graduated from Motorcycle Mechanics Institute and worked as a cycle tech.
