Summary
Since high school, have increasingly understood the necessity of increased formal education. So I have combined work and study or dedicated time solely for study. The result was a successful and fruitful career with the US Postal Service unfortunately cut short by on the job injury.
Although not often required during my career my enjoyment of all kinds of people has been an important part of my life.
