Bio
After retiring in 1979 I went to work for Martin Marietta Aerospace as a Logistics Engineer on the Space Shuttle. That was an expierience I never could have imagined. Fantastic. Then it was over to the Peacekeeper and Titan Missile systems as senior ordinance engineer. Again fantastic. I then moved to technical data and finished as senior technical writer for the Titan Missile Systems.
