A BUSY 52 YEARS

Well, This is the first attempt at creating a Blog. My sister has been trying to get me to do it for years. So I wanted to start with early milestones up till now:
Born in January 1958.
Became acquainted with electricity in 1962 with a bobby pin in a stove socket.
Went to Lake Shore Central Schools, took up Electricity. Some think I was taking Space.
Graduated in 1976.
Worked in the Panel Shop at Duriron Filtration Systems Division at 19.
Went to Bryant & Stratton, received an AOS in Electrical Technology. Became a Field service Engineer and then an Electrical Engineer for Duriron. (Not bad for only having a AOS.) Even became head of the department.
Got Married in 1989.
Duriron was sold to Aquacare, kept same title.
Had 2 children, Katie & Jon.
Aquacare Folded in 2002, became a stay-at-home-dad and freelanced.
Worked for Ascension industries in 2004.
Went to work for Gowanda Electronics in 2006.
Lost my mother in May of 06.
Went back to Ascension in 2007.
2007 very bad year. Marriage fell apart, I am now separated. The kids live with me. Also my father was diagnosed with bladder cancer.
My dad died in March of 2009.
All of 2009 was the clean up my parents property.
Finally in 2010, the house is sold. A lot to do before closing.
