Born 18 Feb 1943 in Brooklyn, NY. Graduated from the U. S. Naval Academy in 1965. Designated a Naval Flight Officer

and flew as a Bombadier Navigator in the A-6A & A-6E aircraft. I do not have a pen name. After being honorably discharged

from the Navy, I worked for the Dept. of the Navy heading up an organization that investigated the causes of equipment

failures on the A-6 series of aircraft, made recommendations for correcting these problems and followed up on

implementation to check if these problems were in fact solved.
