I am a retired engineer. having worked in aerospace and environmental safety areas. I am happily married to my wife of 57 years; we have 2 grown children who live far from us. I enjoy reading, working on my computer, listening to classical music, and pen palling. My main genres of reading are history, biography, and well-known great authors. I am a born-again Christian, and my faith is very important to me. Writing about faith and belief often creep into my letters. I was an amateur athlete in my youth, but those days are gone and I am not very physically active any more.
