Born in an Alberta logging camp, Bill wandered the Canadian Rockies throughout his wayward youth, avoiding truant officers and the RCMP, eventually working his way to Southern California as a migrant fruit picker and freelance kazoo artist.
But seriously...
I was born in July of 1954, in Detroit. Grew up there (with occasional excursions across the river to my Canadian relatives) and in Tucson, Arizona.
I spent 22 years as a US Marine. Nine of those on active duty, and the balance in the Marine Corps Reserve. I retired from the Corps in 1995.
I'm currently an aerospace engineer working with NASA and NOAA satellites. I came to the NASA community as an astronomer, and was seduced by the dark side of the Force. I live in Pasadena Maryland (39.117107 N 76.537843 W). My wife, Paula, died in October of 2012, and my daughter Amanda in February of 2014. For the rest of the story, you'll just have to read the journal...
