As a life long Farmington Valley Connecticut resident, I began writing at an early age. I joined the United States Air Force during the Vietnam era. I served three out of the four years in SAC working on the B-52. After the service I began my career in the Quality-Manufacturing arena. This included NASA projects, like the Apollo Guidance Package with Gyro Systems, Space Shuttle Starlab mission with Infrared Camera Assembly Programs. I retired from the Quality discipline and continued writing.
