Comments

After 2 years at DVC I enlisted in the Navy for four years of active duty (1968-71) and stayed stateside and never on a ship the whole time. I enrolled at Cogswell Polytechnical College, S.F. in '72. When I graduated with a B.S. in '77 I was the student speaker. I have a P.E. (Professional Engineer license) in Mechanical Engineering.
Sunny, who's from Napa, and I were married in '79. We have four children, all girls, and so far three grandchildren. We have moved around a lot; Bay Area, British Columbia, New England. I retired at the end of 2017 and we then moved to Colorado to be with our family.

Update 2018: After seventeen years at the Varian Semiconductor, I retired last fall. We packed up the house and moved to Colorado Springs, CO, to be near one of our daughters and our granddaughter. We are enjoying settling into a new community and making new friends and looking up old ones.

Hi Steve: After two years at DVC and four years in the Navy, I enrolled at Cogswell Polytechnical College, San Francisco, from which I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in 1977. As the attached article about highschool pre-technical programs suggests I was an average student but not in need of remedial
training. I later passed the professional engineer exam to validate my abilities. Cogswell gave me and others a good education but no longer exists, it's mission replaced by other mostly public institutions.
