.. I love being out on the water. Learning about boats has been a hobby for me since I was a little girl. My grandmother worked for the Department of Agriculture in Washington D.C. While she worked during the day, I explored the various museums of the Smithsonian Institution. My favorites were the Museums of American History and Aerospace. There I learned about the wonders of engineering, and became faschinated with the way buildings, bridges, aircraft and especially boats were designed and built. Later in life, I became an aircraft mechanic in the Alaska Air National Guard, andspent twelve years working on every type of aircraft airframe I could lay my hands on. My mother's poor health forced me to retire early from the Guard, but I turned my fascination for all that is mechanical towards the marine industry and I learned about boating electrical and electronic systems. Well, that sums me up pretty neatly. I work in the fishing industry these days, and I am happy as a clam.
