Been in printing for over 20 years also a strong fabricating background.
I can machine it, bend it, weld it, build it, crate it, ship it, fly out after it, install it, and show you how to run it.

Being old is when you didn't loose it, it's that you just can't remember where you put it.

Currently grade 10, gifted class, and after school either locomotive engineer or theatre technician. Just had to drop Chem 20 so I could keep my theatre option open. Why would I want to be a physics prof. anyway?

My title has changed so many time over the past year I am not totally sure what I am anymore.

I work in the customer service group of a large Chemical Co.

My latest title is Key Account Specialist and Work process Coach. But, They can call me whatever they want as long as the money keeps coming in.

Semi-retired musician (we NEVER fully retire!). Was a professional vocal and choral accompanist both here and in Europe for about 20 years until I got tired of living out of a suitcase, then became an assistant choral director and accompanist at St. Francis High School here in Sacto, for quite a while. Retired last year, but still am active as a choral director and accompanist at my local Parish and a Catholic Retreat Center. Which means that I don't know what weekends are (hell, I never DID, LOL!).

Retired RR brakeman. 11 years w/ SP as opr/towerman, moved to Idaho and hired out on Milw as opr (less than briliant career move). After a year transferred into train service as brakeman and when it became obvious they were really going to shut it down (I worked 15 days the first 6 months of 1979) I hired out on the BN.
