Partied too
hard at San Jose State...allowed to graduate only if I promised to never
return sober...allowed entry into graduate school only to be sentenced
to 100 hour work weeks in high-tech companies...held too many jobs in
the Silicon Valley...
Twenty-four years of finding new company driveways to pull into...most recently CEO of TMT, Inc. which I recently sold to Credence Systems Corporation ...(CMOS)...one of my finer moments...looking for my next gig...just parachuted into Flytecomm...a dynamic data base company where I linger as Chairman of the Board while merging my old company into the Credence company culture... Yes...finally married two years ago to the daughter of a Navy WWII pilot...who was shot down during WWII and held in a Japanese prisoner-of-war camp for two years...can you image how our first date went !!! Meeting the family was very interesting (remember, "Guess who's coming to Dinner?)...It's okay though, after WWII my father in-law went on to become the second squadron leader for the Blue Angels in 1946...Cmdr. Raleigh "Dusty" Rhodes...my blushing bride being Kimberly Rhodes...who would have ever thought ! But, not all has been hard work and marital bliss...spent many years on the ski slopes of Lake Tahoe...hot dog skiing during the 70's and 80's with my best friend, Russ Fisher...finding the true meaning of life, buried underneath white blankets of snow and lots of peppermint snapps...hummm...but like Dick Buick in the true story of Olympic hopeful skier, Jill Kinmont, Russ and his Dad were killed in their private plane just a few years ago...crashed into Lake Tahoe...I don't ski much anymore... Switching gears... No Mini-motos... a miniature replica of me was just a bit tooooo scary...left that to my brother and sister... Soo...that's the brief...working on the next chapters...yes, this is all true...makes fiction look strangely real... |
