I was born in a public inn, Stapylton Arms Inn, located in Old Eston, Yorkshire, England. After the war in January 1948 the family moved to Miami, Florida. After high school I was going to be drafted even though I was not a citizen, I tried to enlist in the US Navy and was turned down because I was not a citizen. In November 1950 I did enlist in the USAF, and after completing radar mechanics school I was sent to K-13, Suwon, Korea. I was assigned to the 51 FIW maintaining IFF transponder equipment in F-86 Sabre jet fighters. After discharge from the USAF I graduated from the University of Florida with a bachelor degree in electrical engineering. In 1968 I went to work for the US Navy in Washington DC eventually retiring from the Defense Intelligence Agency in 1992. In 2021 I moved to Adamsville, Tn.
