Bio
Sumner Weisman
Well, I'm another O.F. (Ole Fart) -- sixty-something. Been retired from
Industry for two years, having fun with my toys, hobbies, and interests.
Married many years to the same woman. I know so many people that have been
married and divorced 2 or 3 times that I think there must be something wrong
with me. I have 3 grown sons and one grandkid.
I was in the Navy for 4 years, got married, and was a broadcast engineer for
a few years in AM radio. Then went to school thanks to Uncle Sam, and
became an electronics engineer. Rose through the ranks in a number of
companies, mostly in the Electronic Instrumentation field. My last job was
18 years with one company, a record for me, where I started as Chief
Engineer and eventually changed hats and moved to the sales dept. and became
National Sales Manager. I traveled all over the US and Canada, putting on
seminars for groups of technical people in Industry, going to trade shows,
and visiting sales reps. I sure did enjoy that job, which lasted until
retirement.
Among my other hobbies are ham radio (W1VIV since I was a kid, now treasurer
of the local radio club), photography, travel, and lots of walking. I am a
volunteer ESL teacher (English as a Second Language) one day a week at the
local public library. I have had the TR3 for 11 years, and before that was
a 1970 MGB-GT. My goal is to keep working away at the TR3 and making it
better. It's got a long way to go.
