Author Bio

Born in Biddeford, ME and grew up in New England. I was the first in my family to graduate college (4 year scholarship) which was the Lowell Technological Institute (L.T.I.) and the degree in 1958 was a BS in Textile Engineering which was basically mechanical engineering, and was very industry oriented.  L.T.I. was one of several colleges unified into what is now UMass-Lowell. The geographical area at the time was the heart of the electronics industry. Early on I worked at Sanders Associates in Nashua, NH (employee #75) and Raytheon and was hired by Raytheon in Maynard, MA where based on my work and management's recommendations I was awarded a year of graduate work at Harvard in Engineering Physics. I worked in the Federal Systems Division in IBM on OAO, Gemini, Saturn V LVDC/LVDA, and the MOL before transferring to commercial divisions.  After retiring I worked for Motorola in the Semiconductor Division. I retired from both companies as Technical Staff Member.

​

After retirement I took up writing encouraged by my wife. My book "A Woman Named Benita" is a love story of a successful senior woman in a consultancy who seeks a relationship with an older man who has all the characteristics she is looking for.  The problem is he thinks he is too old for her and resists.  The story is how she pursues this man of a different religion and much older and do they find happiness.
