The casual reader has probably guessed that I graduated UCLA in '66 (Mathematics).I've been in the Space bidnez all these years, working on a wide variety of programs, from DMSP, GOES, DSP, to "national".
We've lived in Colorado Springs since 1990. Before that, Omaha (13 years). We left CA in '77 and haven't looked back. I'm "into" gardening, cooking, golf, and now, shooting (H&K USP 40, Ruger P345, and soon, a police riot pump action 12 guage). My wife tends to our herd of 2 horses (Quarters and Paints)and our Standard Poodle (Chere). I will shortly retire from The Aerospace Corp. after 28 years. We plan to stay in the Springs on our "ranch".

Like all FReepers, I'm saddened at the election outcome, and standing by to resist the takeover, should it happen. Meanwhile, words to live by:

It's so easy to be wise. Just think of something stupid to say, and say the opposite.
