Retired human resources consultant. Former Navy petty officer 1st class (air traffic control) and recruiter. Owned a Piper Cherokee 180 for a few years until the maintenance/repair & gas prices nearly emptied my wallet. Former drummer in bagpipe band. Interested in trains since my early morning paper route took me by the station to watch New Haven RR passenger steam engines puffing through from Fall River to Boston. Had a great surprise one day when a DL109 appeared looking like a space ship with a human face (replaced steam). Massachusetts resident.
