Graduated in 1974, in three years instead of 4; took an average load of 21 hours per semester. Took some 50 hours of electronics in Jr.College, learning assembly languages and programming microprocessors and controller boards. Got a tech degree in Electro-Optics, i.e. laser technology, after that. It went well with my glassblowing business and my experience with vacuum systems for neon tubing mills. Taught a few History courses at UT-Arlington, for three semesters, then started my own consulting business in 1985, and a few years later sold it and began building vacuum systems for Silly Con Valley chip makers, some foreign contracts in Singapore, Korea, and other places, and laser companies. Retired in 2001, after a no-brainer bet on some oil stocks that Bush would win. In between travelled doing work for a couple of oil companies setting up safety systems on LNG tanks using holographic imaging to detect expansion rates and crack formation in real time,
Need anything else, kid? Don't bore me with your usual stupid comebacks, K?
