     I did the usual school thing and  for a living I was into auto mechanics as well as auto body work, small engine repair and minor appliance repair.

     Failing eyesight forced an early retirement about 14 years ago so I needed some hobbies other than raising my son and was always interested in radio communications. 
I  got very disgusted with 11 meters so I checked out "ham" radio, liked what I saw and heard.  I took the course through the C.N.I.B. amateur radio program and have been enjoying it ever since.  I have been licensed for 5 years now and having a great time. Was very pleased to have been asked to act as net controller for the Wednesday night spot for the Sandbox Net. Other hobbies than
ham radio, are fishing and of course my computer or " confuser ". Married and divorced, I have a 14 year old son, Donnie, or "DJ "for short.
