Happy Grovermas!


If my brother can have Jimukka, then my husband can have Grovermas (actually I was thinking Candlemas not Christmas when I coined it)! As part of his celebration (and because he doesn't have his own blog), I'm going to give a few highlights of his career at "Mac".
Above is his resume from 2001---call it the "Cliff Notes" for Dave's career at "Mac" and Boeing.
When I first met him, he was working on the Space Shuttle, but before that he worked on Gemini. By 1974, he was working on the Skylab. In 1975, we moved to Pittsburgh where Dave worked at Westinghouse. But, we were back in St. Louis in 1978 for Dave to work on the Fusion Energy project where he got his patent.

Between Two Worlds

Most of my life, I've considered it fortunate that I was just ahead of the Baby-boom. Generally, the Baby-boomers were born between 1946 and 1964 after the fathers returned from World War II. It was a huge population explosion that has reverberated through American society.

This blog will be part history, part memories, part reflections of a retired teacher, but active "Senior". I have always felt like I straddled two generations forming a bridge. Sometimes I think like a baby-boomer, but sometimes I'm locked into my parents' Depression era thinking. I'm a dichotomy of two eras. But, I'm always ready to try something new---so here I am dipping my toes in the water of Blogworld.
