None that I'm aware of. Have you continued your education past college or university with career development seminars or classes? What kind? I'm a lot into self learning. While many people took up golf and hitting the bars , I actually enjoy reading tech books and 'how to books' (not much of a social life ?? Having an electrical background in vocational high school, I taught myself computer programming starting with machine language. Then 'C' ... this progressed later into my work career. Did you know what profession you wanted to work in when you started college? No idea, Was getting married and only knew I needed a job. Only had about 4-months of college(dropped out for job) then found a job in the Airline Ground handling sector, which turned into a career 43-years Did you belong to any professional organizations? A couple unions through work. What is your current job title? Retired Did you win any awards or recognitions during your education? Runner up in Michigans 1972 State Electronics Design competition (4th place). Where do you work? Retired now since 31DEC2016 - before that North Central Airlines / Republic Airlines / Northwest Airlines and finally Delta Airlines.. Actually 'same-airline' just through multiple mergers. What other job titles have you had in your career? Grocery Store bagger / shelf stocking / resort dish washer Where else have you worked? Local small grocery store / Local resort Why did you choose to work in your industry? Airlines, just needed a job - ended up loving it. Why do you like your job? My job 'retired' .. love not having daily must do work routines / no time management How would you describe your career? 'my life' , good parts and bad. What are some accomplishments you've achieved during your career? Started with the airline basics.. loading unloading planes/jets - working weight and balance - worked air freight handling / tariffs , billing. Worked in employee scheduling and administration.

Others that recognized my value and appreciated my input / work. If you could give a younger person career advice, what would it be? Unknown to me at the time, in high school we had to take a semester of typing. I was pretty good at it because my penmanship is horrendous. My typing skills then came to play at work when our weight and balance computerized. Other employees struggled with the 'hunt-n-pick' typing method. What is your favorite thing about your career or industry? Discounted travel , however others don't realize that it has challenges as well. Your not guaranteed getting a seat. This can be a process when trying to book hotels and car rentals - especially those with no refunds. Many times your left behind at the airport. What is a valuable lesson you learned in your career? This may sound racist, however growing up in Northern Michigan, I think there was only one black family. All my folks knew was what they read in the newspapers about the Detroit Riots in the 60's, so I feel their understanding was tainted. When they knew I was moving to the Detroit area for work they instilled in me a fear about the area and people. Actually when I started working at the Airport I learned really quick there are good and bad in all of our different groups. I worked with the Black, Asian, Arab, Latino people. I made some great friends in all of the groups. I also became more sensitive to their particular backgrounds and history. We all have the same fears and wants out of life and family. What do you hope to accomplish in your career? I'm retired... I hope I left the place in better shape than when I started. Are you involved in any professional/ non-profit/sports organizations? If so, do you have a title or rank within these organizations? none What is your favorite sport? none Do you play any sports? no If you were granted 1 wish, what would you wish for? To start life over again, knowing the lessons I've now already learned along the way. If you won a very large amount of money what would you do? Probably do more traveling and give a bunch away.

This is kind of morbid but maybe we could check the obituaries from Winchester VA from around the last time we’ve heard from him. If we had just a few clues like first name, last name occupation etc. Do we have a picture of him?

No unless having to cook for everyone in my house What is an interesting fact about you? It’s a strange thing but for some reason I deal with emergencies and bad things really easily and efficiently. In my career In the facilities I over saw I have had to deal with everything from earthquakes to murders suicides and drunks. Can handle it all at the time and make clear decisions for needs to be done, but then I pay the huge price when it’s done the next day and what all I had to deal with and see hits me Have you continued your education past college or university with career development seminars or classes? What kind? I never went to college, but I have a ton of specialized training that covers a wide variety From just about everything related to HVAC and the equipment for operating it, trained in lighting and control systems and then some really specialized training I had to go through for some of the areas I did work in that I cannot fully mention Did you know what profession you wanted to work in when you started college? i was heading into law enforcement and had just been accepted into the CHP academy. Sadly shortly after being accepted I blew my new out and never made it.

I had my own construction business for about 16 years after I was done with the hotel work, my clients where hospitals, PG&E, UC Berkeley a Few cities and a little bit of residential work along with working with attorneys and specialist on construction lawsuits.

I liked all the areas I have worked Always something new everyday. Things that I was able to see and be around when contracting was amazing How would you describe your career? Fun but stressful Now that I have been out of it for a while I can not figure out how I was able to carry such a huge load and get it all done I don’t think I could do that now What are some accomplishments you've achieved during your career?

Getting people to grow is a great feeling Describe a time that your career was rewarding. I always found it extremely rewarding when called in for problems and being able to resolve them. As simple as figuring out why when someone flushed there toilet in a high rise it would affect 3 floors of showers. The company had specialist looking at it for months and couldn’t figure it out, I fixed it in one day of going through the systems. In my career I had a few times I cured issues with newly built buildings If you could give a younger person career advice, what would it be? don’t go in thinking you know it all Listen to everyone around you and even the old crazy guy, the amount that you can learn is amazing, even today if I was working I would not ever claim how much I know and still listen to all involved in a project What is your favorite thing about your career or industry? something new every day What is a valuable lesson you learned in your career? how to deal with people What do you hope to accomplish in your career? Its a wrap I do get called once in awhile to help cover some projects when there are problems are something special is needed. Just do it once in a great while Are you involved in any professional/ non-profit/sports organizations? If so, do you have a title or rank within these organizations? nope What is your favorite sport? Not a big sports fan, from the damage I did to my knee I have over a 40 history of physical therapy Have seen to many sport injuries in young people pushing it to hard. Just turned me off to the give all cloture of sports Do you play any sports? nope If you were granted 1 wish, what would you wish for? that people would mellow out and learn how to enjoy each other instead of stepping on each other for gain If you won a very large amount of money what would you do? ohh how do you know I don’t have it already lol I don’t think I’d change a thing in what I do or how I live. I’m the type of guy that can be super happy with a beer and a fishing pole sitting by the lake, don’t really need any th8ng fancy

Thanks Merlin .....
