{{cquote|In 1995 I lost my oldest son at age 42 from a brain Tumor, One of the many good memories was his meeting Joe Namath after a N.Y. Jets loss to our Oakland Raiders,in which Mr Namath received a broken jaw in that game. He signed my sons Jets Pennant and spoke with him for several minutes,with a broken jaw. Thanks to wikipedia, all I wanted to know about that game, Joe Namath is a class act. }} |

{{cquote|As a teenager and high school student of electronics, I was provided the opportunity to repair traffic signals in my home town of Quincy, IL. Traffic signals provided the inspiration to continue studying electronics at Black Hawk College in Moline, IL and Bradley University in Peoria. Upon graduation from Bradley, I found employment with Motorola but, as was common in the 1970's, within a couple years the factory was purchased by Mitsushita Electric Co. and subsequently closed. I eventually returned to Black Hawk College where I would work for 35 years as a broadcast engineer, professor and chairman of the Electronics department. |
