I'm a Ph.D. graduate of Carnegie Mellon University (Pittsburgh, Pa.) thus the CMU logo. My BS and MS degrees are from Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wis. Nancy's a Social Worker with BASW and MSW degrees from the University of Wisconsin in Milwaukee. We have lived aboard three large sailboats for a number of years and have extensively cruised the Bahamas and Caribbean. We even made a trip across the Atlantic in a sailboat! Only took four weeks and Nancy describes it best as "one very long carnival ride". We sold our beautiful Paradox in February of 1996 and now we're "land lubbers" living in Cape Coral, Florida. We have joined the ranks of boaters again, however, since we just purchased a Catalina 22, Prairie Sea.
Our family is pretty much "plugged into" technology. Here's our little baby, Cocoa Butter, a Burmese of 15 years. She's totally into Bill Gates type products and someone just slipped her a copy O/S 2 Warp. As you can see by her expression, she's not too thrilled with that platform, but then again, who was?!!!
On the other hand, she just turns her nose up when shown Internet Explorer. Cocoa Butter just purrs "Netscape Navigator's the one for me". Smart cat!
Our oldest son, Kip, has an excellent home page especially if you're a college basketball fan, or if you're into fantasy football. He has two gorgeous daughters.
Carey, our only daughter is also living in Cape Coral. In fact she's just down the street from us. She's a school teacher at Littleton Academy in North Fort Myers teaching fourth grade this year. She is married to another computer-type, Jeff and they have 3 lovely children.
Andy, our youngest, is a lawyer living in Biloxi, MS. He's in the Air Force and married to a knockout named Janie. They met (where else) on the internet! Welcome to the family, Janie!!! Their "babies" are a couple of lively felines dubbed "Dutch" and "Company".
Our middle son Scot and his wife Dawn are the technology "holdouts". They live in Miami. Their two "children" are a couple of english bulldogs!
I retired as a Professor of Electrical Engineering and an Integrated Circuit Designer and now lead the "good life". One of my hobbies is Ham Radio. My call sign is W9UCR and I've held that call since 1952. At the moment my main activity is listening on 2 meters (147.225) and a little 40 SSB activity on 7268.
Retirement is not my bag though so I keep busy designing web sites. At the moment I have about one hundred of them that I either have designed or maintain. If you're interested in having your business on the internet give me a shout ! Check out my main products, Lee Island Coast and Geraci Travel or visit my business home page.
