BIO
Wow, that's a long time ago! Military from '68 to '72. Married Cathy Irwin (Morningside 67) in 1970. Two children, Cindy, 22, opened on Broadway last year, and Bryan, 26, mechanical engineer with GE. I've been involved in the model hobby industry full time since 1972, working for several different firms until I couldn't stand working for someone else anymore. Started my own business in 1985 doing custom engines for model use. I was world racing champion three times and US team member 8 times. I've been fortunate to have traveled worldwide to fly radio controlled airplanes. Current interests include competitive trapshooting and looking forward to retirement so I can do all the things I don't have time for now! The years have been good to me and for that I am grateful.
