Having competed yet another orbit around the sun, the total of my years is equivalent to the title and graphic shown. In spite of that rather large-ish sounding number, I am still in very good health with only minor symptoms of arthritis and a slightly under-performing kidney. I still see a dermatologist who eliminates some skin carcinoma from time to time, thus reminding me of my younger days of over exposure to the sun’s UV radiation.
Here’s a brief summary of life to this point:
- Born during the second world war in Long Beach, California.
- Graduated High School in the early 60’s
- Active duty US Navy – Avionics Tech School for a year
- US Naval Missile Center, Point Mugu, CA Targets Dept. 2 years.
- Went into Aerospace industry for the next 40 years.
- Retired in Wickenburg, AZ.
I may have left out a few details. There are a couple of blog posts in the works that detail my Navy service – coming one of these days.
As of today, July 17, 2024, the vernabob.com blog is eighteen years old. We keep blogging about major events these days and someday we will resume making daily entries into it like we originally intended (i.e. “Our Digital Diary.”) Meanwhile, we will do the occasional post about holidays, birthdays, anniversaries (like this) and such.
