Red........grew up in Durango, went to collage in Pueblo, gotta FCC 1st Class License and a job as engr at KREY-TV in Montrose. Neighbor told Mom I was gonna be drafted fer Viet Nam, so joined the USAF instead. Found out years later, I would have been F-4'd 'cuz of BAD hearing but as an volunteer, I was good to go. (frown) I ended up launching ICBM's outta Vandenberg AFB, Calif west to Pacific Missile Range. I then gotta job at a missile tracking station in Hawaii and watched them go by. Bendix Field Engr then transferred me to Johnston Is, 700-mi from Honolulu where all wages were "tax free". Then Bendix transferred me back to Baltimore for the Apollo man-to-moon project. I flew around the world "free" fer 2-yrs and got married to a California girl. Left her fer 'nutter Apollo job in Hawaii and came home all "tanned" while she'd been chipping ICE off'n her new car windows. We were working Houston time and were on the ground by noon Hawaii time. What are you gonna do in Hawaii at noon, lay on the beach, right? She insisted I putta transfer request fer Goldstone Tracking station. Instead I got hi-jacked fer Network Controller at JPL in Pasadena. Worked there until my GI-bill college expired, went to PLU in Stockton, Calif. After graduating, wife gotta job teaching Dental Hygiene in Steilacoom, Wash. Figggered I'd gitta job at Boeing. Took me 5-yrs to gitt in the back door. I was a Flight Test Engr fer 20-yrs and forced to retire and went back to college fer my 4-th degree. Yeah, 4-degrees and $5 gittcha cuppa KAUPHY at Starbucks........Durango Dell
