I grew up in Iowa. As a child early in the Great Depression, my friends
and I would often walk seven miles from Sioux City to Sergeant Bluff to see the
airplanes used during World War I. I served in the Air Corps in World War II,
and was trained as an airplane electrician. I served in the Pacific Theater
from New Guinea to Ie Shima. After the War, I earned a degree at Northrop
University, followed with 37 enjoyable years with Lockheed as a senior design
specialist.
