I am an old dude who was diagnosed with ALS in 2004 after stumbling around to doctors' offices for three years trying to find out why I was stumbling. Well now I know and I am making it my goal to let as many folks know about ALS as I can, and to help find a diagnostic test (can you believe there is none?) some good therapies (can you believe there is only one drug approved for ALS?) and to support research to find the elusive cause and cure.I was born in the Panama Canal Zone and spent my first 40 years there working for various federal agencies, the last being the Panama Canal Commission.I worked in Washington, DC, for the US Army Corps of Engineers as Chief of the Dredging Division where I had oversight for all Federal dredging projects in the nation. I retired in 1989 and did free lance consulting on dredging issues, primarily environmental aspects of dredging. I edited the second and third editions of the book, "Dredging for Development," which was specifically directed to port development in developing countries.I am President Emeritus of the Panama Canal Museum in Seminole, Florida. The Panama Canal Museum, the only such institution in the United States dedicated exclusively to preserving the proud history of the American Era of Panama's history. It is my other passion besides promoting the awareness of Lou Gehrig's disease.
