Space Camp - Huntsville Alabama

Watching kids being being turned every which way but loose on a 3 axis gyro. I don't think I want to try that....(upchuck city). My grandson...yep he'd want to try it. Lots of cool stuff to see, including a Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird (spy plane).

Lived one of my dreams Snorkeling on the Napali coast in Kauaai
Swam in the ocean Saint Augustine Beach, FL (undertow was a little scary), Snorkeling on Hawaii
Been on TV TV 5 News....Bitching about having to replace my "forever" centennial license plate. When I bought it in 1996, at a premium price, I was told that I would never have to replace it, and that I could transfer it to ANY vehicle at no charge. Their excuse...my plates were probably rusting. That's a neat trick for an aluminum plate.
Watched the sunrise with someone Sunrises & Sunsets in Red Rock country (Arizona, Utah) with my wife
Been in the back seat of a police car The day I crashed tested my brand new Honda 350 at the intersection of Holland and Outer Drive on my way to work. Thank God I was wearing a helmet.
Danced my heart out When I met the girl (who later became my wife) at a fraternity dance party in Flint, MI
Made a prank call (since you were in middle school?) Lots of these to old friends and classmates...I'm pretty good at disguising my voice with a foreign accent.
Had a life altering experience When I adopted my daughter Tara in 1976. She was only 6 weeks old, born in Bogota Columbia.
Laughed until I cried Getting together with friends and classmates reminiscing about our antics growing up and in school.
Scuba dived Back in my 20's I got my scuba certification (fresh water diving in Michigan).

Special Math grades 9 - 12. That really made things easy for me in my freshman and sophomore years at GMI. My freshman year was more or less a cake walk.

When I signed in at the 25th DMHS reunion, Therese Drouillard asked me if I was the guy who fell through the ice on the reflection pond while trying to collect some loose change that had been thrown onto the ice. I sheepishly replied..."That'd be me." Who knew that I would be tagged for such an obscure event over 25 years later. I can laugh about it now, but it wasn't so funny at the time.

I wanted to get a degree in engineering. I applied and was accepted by Saginaw Steering Gear as a co-op student at General Motors Institute in Flint, MI (Now Kettering University).

I Graduated with a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from General Motors Institute in 1971.

I worked for GM and Delphi for 37 years, and retired a month prior to my 55th birthday.

Retired life is good :)

I went to work for Saginaw Steering Gear as a co-op student. In August of 1962 I started school at GMI in Flint, MI.

Attended General Motors Institute (now known as Kettering University) in Flint, MI, where I received a bachelors degree in mechanical engineering.

Sigma Alpha Epsilon

Getting married to my wonderful wife, Sara, and raising to great children, Christopher and Tara (both of whom also graduated with college degrees).

Three grandchildren (Hannah Weber, Madison Weber, and Brenden Weber).

Skydiving

Yes Hawaiian Islands are the farthest I've been away from home in Saginaw, MI (Well worth the trip).

Saw Elvis a couple of years ago...at McDonalds. I told him I was one of his biggest fans.
His answer..... (see below).












Uh...thank ya. Thank ya very much..... (Get's laughs when I do my Elvis impersonation). :-)

Met Buffalo Bob on Ojibway Island when I was 6...Does Howdy Doody count?

I have more technical skills than these questions cover.

Travel
WHATEVER I want to!

Armchair quarterback :)

I was left handed and forced to be right handed when I was very young. So... I write with my right hand, throw with my left hand,..bat right handed...catch a baseball with a glove on my left hand (which means I have to take the glove off to throw the ball from right field (the position that crappy baseball players get to play...if they get to play at all).


I was the shortest kid in my class in grade school, and most of high school. So sports were never my strong suit. Football was definitely a "no go" for a short kid like me.

So, I compensated for all of that by studying hard and excelling academically, especially in math and science. I was fortunate enough to be accepted into the special math program early in my freshman year. That really paid off for me.

My son Chris is a great father who has encouraged his son and two daughters to participate in athletic activities including skiing, kayaking, and golfing and karate. My 9 year old grandson is really gifted at sports, especially baseball and track and field. So I get to enjoy sports vicariously though my grand children.

Too numerous to mention. Every time I get together with old friends or classmates and we talk about old times. A group of my classmates from Peace Lutheran School celebrated a 51 year reunion in 2013. It was a really a blast. The DMHS 25th anniversary reunion was awesome. My wife, Sara, and I had a really great time.

I was looking forward to the 50th high school, which unfortunately did not happen. So we'll have to make up for that with a great 51st anniversary celebration.

I'm a prankster. I'll prank just about anybody for a good laugh. Nothing malicious or demeaning, just to break the monotony.

At work, of our favorite tricks was to put a box of ball bearings on somebody's drafting (drawing) table. The bottom of the box being mostly cut away, with a thin piece of cardboard taped to hold the ball bearings from falling out. After placing the loaded box on the drafting table, we'd adjust the table to a slight angle, and cut the tape holding the cardboard at the bottom. The best time to do this was during lunch.

When the "prank-ee" returned from lunch, they would invariably pick up the box, releasing hundreds of bearings, and creating quite a noticeable amount of noise. Everyone would have a good laugh, except perhaps the "prank-ee".

I should mention that I was (more than once) a prank-ee of this trick before I became a prank-er. It was all in good fun, and nobody took it personally.

In today's day and age, it might well be looked upon as workplace harassment.
