| Personal background |
|---|
Age 58, Married6years w/6 boys & 1 girl. I love Radio control sailplanes, fish ponds, gardening & all of my computers.
After high school I joined the US Navy's Nuclear Power Program. Because my eyesight didn't meet their standards after my first year in school, I changed fields & went into cryogenics/HVAC for the next 5 year. I enjoyed my years in the service, traveling around the Mediterranean countries.
After discharge from the service, I spent 7 1/2 years working for a brass company, doing statistical process control & reading grain structure.
For the past 23 years, I have been the maintenance/security director of a hospital in south central Indians. I am also a member of ISHE & ASHE |

My favorite time of the day is early morning; a few hours before sunrise, watching the stars & moon disappear as the sun comes up over the horizon. I spent 6 years in the US Navy & when at sea I did the same thing, sitting out on a weather deck.
I've always believed, somewhere out there, life does exist. I thought about it allot while sitting on those weather decks at night, noticing that there were small flashes of light in the wake my ship left. The light was from plankton, which would have, if it could have, looked at us in the same way we look at the stars, in total amazement. I truly believe that one day, just as it happened for the plankton, it will happen for us & we will be the flash of light in the wake.
As for how, when & where we should look and listen, that's easy! Use the technology that's available to us now, within reasonable cost restraints. I don't think that we should change our methods every whipstitch. But we must keep our minds open to new ideas & technology, while improving on what we have now. I run the program on three computers & will continue to do so as my contribution to the cause & cost restraints.
Now I come to the really big thing for me, what do we say & when do we say it. I look at it as if I were sitting in a bar on Saturday night, looking for a date. I wouldn't want to know a girl that came in the door, yelling Wooo-Hooo! ... Starts off by telling she?s divorced twice, bulimic, has a urinary infection buys her jewelry from the shopping channel and has three cats. I'd rather meet the one with a short opening line and meaningful, two-way exchange of information, over the course of the evening. |
