About Me	Highlights: I opened polymer plants in Mexico and Korea. I was married for many years, 2 children (Regina, Brandon), and remarried in 1992 to a beautiful, young Filipina. We have a lovely home in the Philippines. Our 2 sons, 10 and 12, are on the Scholar's List in Timony School, Methuen. Senior scientist for 3 companies over the past 30 years, taught advanced chemistry subjects for U Mass, Lowell, for 30 + years. Patents. Travel the world. R&D office in Tokyo and Seoul for years. Currently developing a synthetic heart, biostable polymers, anti-microbial TPUs, some unique polymers. We spend time in Asia when we can, especially the Philippines (our home there), Asia, Hong Kong, Singapore, GB, France, Netherlands, etc. I graduated from Wernher von Braun's guided Missile and rocket school, 1953-4, White Sands P.G., N M, 1954-6. I often plan to visit SHS, but something always comes up! Our sons are in sports, activities. Digna, my wife, speaks several languages, primarily Ilocano. She has a degree in Business Management. I worked for MGM Studios at WDW for awhile. My daughter, Regina, has 2 older sons plus triplet girls, 9 y.o. The last I knew, we had 44 photo albums of our travels. We spent July of last year in the Philippines and traveled around. I still feel like I'm 39 years old. We have friends in many countries. I do some teaching (Science classes) in Methuen schools for the kids. We lived in Ipswich for a number of years, moved to Methuen in 1995. Theonly time I see old friends and classmates is at reunions. My classmates are astonished that I have a 2nd family with young sons. Our 12 y. o. is a big kid, solid, 140 pounds, taller than my wife. He's a black belt in Martial Arts, Brent, our 10 y.o. may be the smartest one in the family! I'd love to visit SHS one day before your school is out for the year!
