I was born in Philadelphia, Pa in 1948.    I spent most of my life where I was born and went to Drexel University, Philadelphia, Pa. for my three degrees which are listed below.    I worked as a research engineer with DuPont Chemical Co in the area of fiber reinforce plastics and obtained three US Patents for Aramid Matrix Composite Materials.   I wrote numerous research papers in the field of the duriability of fiber reinforced composites.     After 14 years I changed careers to become an educator, teaching 2 years with the School District of Philadelphia and the last 27 years teaching Physics at Plano Senior High and Plano West Senior High
