Bio
Started out to be an electrician... then a phone man. Enlisted to see if they could get my AFSC with one of the two but “needs if the business” Uncle Sam said Munitions is the job for you! After getting out went back to being a telephone man. After I retired from that did same job at a college, which I enjoyed the most.
