What are you doing now:
Now Retired.
If anyone is wondering why Freeport, NY is my home town not Walpole, MA.
Well, I lived in Freeport from when I was 4 until the end of my Junior Year in high school. I finished my Senior year at Port Jefferson, NY HS. I had lots of friends at Port Jeff, but even more left behind in Freeport.
I was a Senior Programmer Analyst, Business Systems Analyst and Manager over my 36 years in the Financial, Stock Market and Corporate worlds. Before my software career while in college, Grad school and few years after, I was a Blood Bank Technician doing type & cross matches and the weekend supervisor. Following that I was also a supervisor in a research lab for automating the Blood Bank process. From there I moved into the medical machine sales area at the same company.
My hobby is furniture refinishing: I like to pick-up old pieces being thrown out, take them apart, sand, stain and finish with a shiny coat of what's right for the piece. Then I give it away or use it. My sons/grandkids have been the recipient of many pieces.
Just updated the Lyme Disease site for 2019.

Being the Lead VPA, Ship Historian and Chief Admin for NTWS keeps me busy. If you would like to leave a question or request for help, leave a Message on the right bottom side of this page.
Read my comments under each duty station and get a 'wider' view of my naval time.

Other Comments:
Instead of doing a blog I decided that working as a VPA on this site works best for me. Sort of like a Consultant - can set my own hours/days and I get a lot of satisfaction helping others on here complete their profiles.
For our WWII and Korean Vets please read the Blog section of my profile.
