I was part of the initiation of the computer era (IBM 650), operating and programming the IBM 1401. As that technology developed, I worked with the following main frame computers: 360, 370, 3031, and 3033. I worked for a leading computer manufacturer as a system engineer, system analyst, system programmer, operating systems instructor and data center manager. A dedicated reader of science, especially cosmology and evolution.
I have been a passionate jazz listener for over sixty years, as well as some classical music. I played the trumpet for several years.
Also played jai alai until sixty-four years old when two heart attacks ended that wonder.
I obtained several trophies and the main one, once national jai alai champion.
