After leaving Senn, I continued my education at Purdue, Cornell, and University of Florida, ending up with a PhD in Engineering Mechanics. After a 14-month stay working in England as an engineer, I settled in Huntsville, Alabama. Much to my surprise, I have lived there ever since. I have had three careers, starting with aerospace engineer supporting the space program, retail business owner of a three-store chain of waterbed stores, and finally department chair at Alabama A&M University. Along the way, I have sired four daughters, who have given me eight grandchildren with another on the way. Three of my daughters are close by, and the other not too far away in Georgia.
I retired last year. I am married to Paulette, who is a retired school teacher, and we are exploring the various pleasures of retired life including the four B?s: Babysitting, Ballroom Dancing, Bicycling, and Being a tourist. Recent activities include a week-long bicycle trip in North Florida and a Caribbean cruise.
