Hudson County New Jersey

Im retired. I was a mechanical engineer. Then I taught Physics in High school

I was an auditor for the Long Island Rail Road for 20 years. Retired at age 59 in 2002. To me work is a dirty four letter word.

Before working for the LIRR I held various financial positions including payroll manager for Radio City Music Hall in the early 80's. It was the best place to work but the pay was lousy so I went to work on the rail road. Best move, financially, I ever made.

Worked at Sperry Gyroscope and then Bulova Watch as a cost analyst, as payroll manager for PRD Electronics, Polygram Records & Film and then Radio City Music Hall.

Now I work at trying to play golf, snorkling and wood working.

I retired from the Army after 26 years just to go right back to work
