Brazosport High School Freeport, Texas
College Name
Yes.
College Graduation Year
1978. I took a few years off in the early seventies to have some great adventures. The adventures were far more important than the college time.
College Graduation Major/Concentration
Chemical Engineering. Is that boring, or what? I specialiized in Energy and the Environment, which is only slightly less boring.

Chemical Engineer. Still going after all these years. Before I did that I was a painter (buildings, not portraits), a mechanic, short order cook, I ran a surfboard rental stand, and poured concrete burial vaults. And was a paperboy. I like chemical engineer best.
