Facinating and under-staffed field -- where did you get your degree? I have seen an epidemic need for more specialists like you.

Graduated from High School 1950, studied electronics and radar systems until drafted into the army in 1952. Two years in Signal Corps as a Radar Tech. Got out and then got into sheetmetal Union Local 273 where I spent 40 years in construction work (heating, Air conditioning and Architectural Sheetmetal) While working, I spent 14 years (evenings) as an instructor in the sheetmetal apprenticeship program. Retired in 1994 and now spend a lot of time doing totally unimportant projects and traveling when possible. Next project is to drive to Alaska and back starting in May of this year.
