What’s been happening:

After leaving Penn State in '81 I went to work for Lord Corporation in Erie, PA. I worked for Lord for 18 years as a mechanical engineer in noise, shock and vibration control. This work involved primarily construction and farm equipment, heavy trucks and the boating industry. In 2000 I moved to Massachusetts and took a job with Barry Controls, still in noise, shock and vibe, but serving mostly defense and aerospace manufacturers. My wife Rachel and I married in 1982 and have 4 sons aged 18-24. We are getting used to being empty nesters much of the year now but somehow life is still very busy. In addition to our jobs we stay busy with church work and a couple of hobbies.
