All in Favor, Say Ay (ePub)

Born in Roxborough, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Graduated Upper Darby High School in suburban Philadelphia. Attended the Pennsylvania State University with a major in agricultural economics and rural sociology. Intended to become a buyer for a large meat processing company. This did not come to fruition. Honorably discharged after service in the United States Air Force.

Having studied radio maintenance in the Air Force, I answered an employment ad for someone with an electronics background and was hired by Remington Rand Univac to learn computer operations. They were building their COBOL compiler, and I was trained on the Univacs I, II, and III. Spent a year working at George Washington University operating a control data computer. The work was exciting as a group of medical doctors and computer programmers were putting together a program that would analyze the electrocardiogram. Today, this tool is available to most doctors.

Returning to Philadelphia, I took a job with Powell Electronics Incorporated and became the head of their computer applications department. My work was both as the computer operator and as their COBOL programmer. After thirty-two years, I retired as their senior applications programmer, analyst.

I moved to Georgia to be closer to my youngest brother’s family and my widowed mother.
