Retired. Spent my younger days as a staff engineer in automated escape systems for fighter aircraft-primarily for installation into the AV-8A and AV-8B Marine Corps light attack fighters. Later, as an aerospace technical proposal consultant, mostly worked in Northern Ireland, England and France with shorter periods in Germany, Italy, and Canada. Also worked all across the United States--from LA to NYC. Born in Asheville, NC. 8 March 1943.

Researching: Wakefield/Ballew/Bishop/Phipps/Baker/Chunn/Fleming among other lines...willing to help those, like me, who are just starting out. Also willing to obtain photographs of graves located in Buncombe, and McDowell Counties in NC.

With warm regards to all...
