Born in Eureka, lived in Willow Creek "till I was 10, moved to Mi Wuk Vlg and lived there 'till I joined the Navy in '75'. The Navy took me to Florida, Cicily, and Iceland. We moved all over California, Idaho, and Arizona chasing the Corps of Engs., until '81' when we landed back here in Tuolumne county. My wife always used to tell everyone that we lived in 36 houses in 20 years. We own our 2 acres now and don't plan on going ANYWHERE.

Really I moved up there in 80. What street did you live on. I lived in Johnstonville and my parents owned the bowling alley there.

i1dery, I remember the Control Data Computers - best in the industry for a few years. They were the first to do practical floating point math - we used them on the first of the medical devices that became cat scanners. Would you beleive that they used to get $1000 per K of memory, and all you could run was just 128K? But that was back when core memory was really hand wired magnetic cores.

We would have given the moon for as good a computer all of us have at home now!

Also, I lived a few years in the Seattle area - one of the few places I would return to.

But tell us about your Chapter - is it active, and what can we do to improve ours?

Didn't know you could do that - restrict a member from posting on only one forum, but let him post on others. . . . Not something I would do here, I hasten to add.

But you must have said something really horrible - like suggest a bowtie engine in a Ford!
