I'm a pilot and retired engineer. I've also worked as a busboy, cook, disc jockey, reporter, air cargo ramp-rat, Air Force Electronic Warfare specialist, mechanic, carpenter, debt collector, aircraft detailer, factory worker, tool and fixture designer, quality control manager and automotive engineer. Or, as one Human Resources manager put it while trying to low-ball me, 'he can't hold a job'. My bride and I live in Ypsilanti, Michigan, a Detroit suburb in an area known as "Depot Town".I couldn't find the sort of book that I wanted to read, so I started writing them myself.
