My Life Experiences:
I have been active in almost everything imaginable from Hot-Rods to Computer Science, with a little and a lot of experimenting
in between. I have built racecars, I raced cars - Drag and Circle Track. I worked with Hot Rodders during the mid 60's as a Ford
Parts Performance representative. I worked with the Forest Hills Ford Race Team (1968 429CID Torino).
I did experience the Disco era from behind the turn-tables. I built The Disco Factory lighting and sound system and managed
the GPRP (record pool) record promotion organization until 1979. All this while I worked full time.
I spent seven of my best years coaching youth baseball for the PBAA. Gary was a very good catcher (no. 35).
I returned to my racing roots in 1998 when I helped my son build a racecar as his "senior project" at Plum High School.
Gary raced the car from 1999 (Jennerstown) to 2001 when he began racing at Latrobe Speedway...the original Schmuckers
speedway, where I spent some time as a pit crew member for Wilson Racing (1959).
I formally retired in 2002 during my fight with cancer. However I never ceased to volunteer as a consultant and IT tech.
I closed my CES service shop (in-home) 2009. Survived open-heart surgery in 2014.
Recently we sold Gary's 1932 "B" Model project so he could return to racing!!
I am 76 years old and my bucket list is down to a few items...
I must add, my wife and best friend in the world...I could not be so lucky...without her I would have never lasted this long.
Maureen is the love of my life.

"I can't believe I am still turning wrenches at the age of 77".
"Never do as I say...ask questions, research the issue, apply the solution to your situation and do what you believe is just, reasonable and fitting".
