Have a degree in physics, but I've been programming computers since 1967 or thereabouts. Worked for Owens Corning Fiberglas in the fiber research group. Then 23 years with Occidental Petroleum and now 10 years with MJW Corporation.

Spent 3 years in Ghana teaching math at a teacher training college before any of that. The time in Africa was the most exciting and interesting. Returning home from Ghana and after touring around Europe on the way, we then started out our married life in the states with $75 to our names. Thank goodness for gracious parents
