’77 Hawk Profile

Hello,

Since graduating in ’77 I moved to Nashville, TN to get educated in Auto/Diesel repairs. Moved back home in Jan. ’79 and worked briefly at Smokey Yunick’s garage in Holly Hill. Got layed off and took a job making kitchen cabinets off Airport Rd. in Ormond. In ’82 I moved to Tampa to pursue a career in electronics. I attended UEI and received a 2 year degree. I then was employed at Westinghouse in Oldsmar, FL in Sept. ’84.

I got married in June ’87 and in Mar ’91 we moved to Charlotte, NC. I got a job in the same field of electronics at a textile based company called Schlafhorst which has since changed names 2 more times and now is called Oerlikon. I enjoy the electronics field and have been in it since ’84.

I have 3 children, 2 girls and 1 boy and the oldest daughter is married. Our son is autistic and lives with us and our youngest daughter is currently at a local Jr. College studying graphic design.

As you can tell I have had a busy time since ’77 and am sorry if this is more than brief, but it is difficult to minimize!

I look forward to seeing everyone but am sure I may not recognize too many. Kathy Meagher still lives on our old street and stops by to say hi from time to time.
