1960

After Catalina attended U of A. Graduated in 1965 with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering. Met my wife Sandy Bell (CHS Class of '63) at the U of A and we were married in 1966. After U of A served in the U.S Air Force (for 3-1/2 years) as a Field Training Detachment Commander (on the Upper Peninsula of Michigan) with final rank of Captain. In 1969 accepted a job in Engineering with McDonnell Douglas Aircraft in Long Beach, CA working on the DC-10 airplane program and then Engineering project administration. Received a MBA from Cal State Long Beach in 1977. Went to work for Northrop Corporation in 1983 in Pico Rivera, CA where I was the manager for the engineering drawing release department. In 1995 hired back with McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) in Long Beach on the C-17 transport aircraft program working in Engineering project management. Retired in 2008 and am now seem busier than ever. We have three children - 2 sons (ages 42 and 30) and a daughter (age 39). Three grandchildren from our daughter - 2 grandsons (ages 12 and 8) and a granddaughter (age 6) plus a brand new granddaughter from our oldest son and his wife. All live nearby and it is delightful to be a part of the changes in their lives. Keep busy with church worship and activities, exercise classes at the gym, playing golf and bridge regularly, and being grandparents.
