What’s been happening:

John took three things away from Penn State - a BS in Engineering, a future wife, and a love of sports. Though he lettered in Cross Country, he settled into softball as his keep-in-shape activity, playing in each of his seven decades and adding tennis in the last four. His engineering career started with the Army Corps of Engineers teaching airfield design. Then to industry where his Industrial Engineering abilities took him to flooring manufacturing in PA, to textiles in NC and finally to the food industry in NY. There he served as IE Director at Welch Foods, then managed a Seneca Foods plant, and finally aided Comstock Foods as its Environmental Manager. Service to others has always been important, including six years on General Assembly Council of the Presbyterian Church USA and president of his Rotary Chapter. In his locality the Presbyterian Home, Counseling Service, and political party work benefited from his leadership. His conservation efforts moved to the local zoo, where as a docent he oversees biofacts along with his wife and fellow Penn Stater, Mary Lou. Conservation and church are primary emphasis of their travels too. Birding has taken them from southeast AZ to Costa Rica to the Peruvian Amazon and beyond; the zoo, to Tanzania and Kenya; and church concerns, to China and Brazil.
