After graduation spent a year and a half at 2 jobs, first at TAM Engineering which was a Ford engine re-builder in Nalley Valley in Tacoma and many months at an Oldsmobile dealership in Auburn as a mechanic. Then left there to spend 4 years in the Air Force of which I traveled all over the far east and had a blast, except the 4 trips to Vietnam. What a great experience. After the Air Force I came home to attend TCC and work in a Chevron Station at 40th and Bridgeport. Got married in Dec 1967. Then went to work for IBM with the help of Al Ruff. And as they say the rest is history. It is a great life. Retired for the 2nd time in June 2017. Went to work full time for Olympia Home Depot 2021. Living in Tumwater, WA.

Spent far too many days goofing off at Wilson. But did enjoy the friendship of many class mates. Enjoyed all of the shop classes from Mechanical Drawing, Wood shop where I made several fun projects to auto shop where I was an class teachers assistant.
