Financial Secretary
I was a Principal Engineer with Northrop Grumman, and I retired in 2002 with over 40 years of service. Much of that was earned as an electrical engineer with Westinghouse Electric Corporation, during which time I designed digital circuitry, including various laser range counters, synchronizers, and control circuits.
