I was born shortly after the Atomic Bomb ended WW2. Learned the three Rs - Reading, writing, and arithmetic - before engineers moved from slide rules to computers. Was in high school when we expected the Cuban Missile Crisis to get us all killed and when JFK and MLK, Jr. were assassinated. Graduated University before Saigon became Ho Chi Min City. Held 4 jobs long enough to be counted as careers and a few jobs that were just jobs to keep the refrigerator full. Now taking a run at writing books for a fifth career.
