Comments:

Put in 30 years working for Amtrak, mainly at the San Jose Cahill St Station. Turned it from a sleepy little downline station of 2 trains per day, into the busiest train station in Northern California (if not in all California). When I retired in 2006 there were 133 trains and 38 busses moving through the station.

In 2006 took early retirement due to a heart attack. However, as of 2010, I'm feeling pretty chipper now.

When I retired, I decided to chase one of my 2 dreams from childhood and since then, I have successfully published 2 books in the Sci Fi/ Fantasy genre.

Sadly, as of 2010, I am again single.

School Story:

Working for Mrs Hallahan on the Yearbook staff in my Senior Year. I took full advantage, by the covering of Yearbook assignments and page deadlines, to skip a lot of other classes. Especially my Algebra class (yuck)
