After spending 33 years
in the aviation industry I have learned we are a small group of
people. Somehow we all know each other; we run into each as we
travel the World. If you don't know me you know someone I know,
you have flown in and out of the same airports I have, or you
have flown the same type aircraft I have flown. So if you like
e-mail me and let me know who you are and if we know each other.
Simultaneously for sixteen years I was a Police Officer in up-state New
York retiring in 1986 at the rank of Lieutenant. Serving the
public is a most rewording job that I hated to leave but I fully
understood Police work on the street is a young person’s job.
During that time I became a Real A State broker in the State of New York,
work that I also enjoyed. The last job I retired from in 1995
was the airport.
Now retired it’s time for hobbies so I developed an interest in computers
, website design & building, I have been doing this since 1995
and enjoy this very much.jim@rahm.org .
