About Me
Graduate of Tufts University and Army veteran. Retired from the Dow Chemical Company after 26 years in polyurethane research & development, pilot manufacturing, and technical service. Self employed as an independent specialty plastic & elastomer consultant for companies in the U. S. and off shore until 2008. Married to Maryann for forty-four years. We have two daughters. I was diagnosed with MS(Primary Progressive) 12/1993. Focus in recent years has been on rehabilitation rather than treatment. Feel that damage has been done and/or leveled off at this point.
