Introduction
I got tired of having a bot follow me around saying that my posts were unsigned because I didn't have a user page. So here's my user page.
Biography
I was born on August 16, 1953 in Lutheran Hospital on Junius St. in Brooklyn, New York. For most of my childhood, my parents, Ronald and Ruth, and my younger sister Joan, and I lived in the Canarsie section of Brooklyn. I attended Holy Family School on Flatlands Ave., and Brooklyn Technical High School. During my senior year in high school, my youngest sister, Ellen, was born. I joined the US Navy and served for 9 years. During this time I met my wife, Joyce. I worked in Houston, Texas for a short time, and moved to the Washington, DC area. I worked for a variety of government contractors, supporting the US Navy. During this time, my younger sister, Joan, passed away. Also, during this time, my wife, Joyce, and I were divorced. I started my own computer consulting company in 1986, supporting small businesses and not-for-profit organizations. During this time, my father passed away. Also during this time, I met my wife, Mardee.
