[QUOTE="bigbird4120, post: 20358, member: 1001"] Bigbird4120 on every other messageboard except this one; guess I believed Eric was asking for my actual name in the Blank labeled 'name'. Silly of me... Tech fan since I was six or so; had two cousins precede me [EE, '63, IM '71] which started an Orlando boy's interest in Tech. I had to go fight in the great SE Asia unpleasantness in order to afford school through the GI Bill. I remember tuition being ~$350/quarter for a full load, with my GI bill being about that much per month. I worked 40 hrs/week every quarter at Tech, and used the GI Bill money for the mortgage. Never had time to go to a single game while a student; sorry I didn't. BSIM '77, General contractor for around thirty-five years; Semi retired now. Doer rather than watcher: Watched hockey when the Flames came to town, taught myself to skate and play. Early on, played in two games for Tech's club team before they realized I was worse than a noob. Got better, and played twenty years in the AAHL. Saw America's Cup sailing, taught myself and my son to sail. Still do, when I'm physically able to. Been wanting to race sports cars since track visits to Daytona and Sebring in the mid-60's. Found the National Auto Sports Association, [yes, NASA] in '07, and have been driving my prepared '91 Toyota MR2 at Road Atlanta and other tracks around the SE; wish I was twenty again so I could race longer, now that I've found what I like best.
