After 3 years in the Army (60-63), I worked at Tucson
Medical Center as an Orderly. No future there, so I moved
to Pontiac, Michigan, got a job at Pontiac Motor Division
and worked there for 23 1/2 years - Office Supervisor over
3 offices. I became a Licensed Practical Nurse in 1971 and
worked part time for 31 years (quit nursing 2 years ago).
The Home Plant of Pontiac Motor Division was closing, so I
took the buyout and moved to San Francisco, CA (lived
there during the big earthquake in 1989). I was Assistant
Controller at Wilsey Foods/Airfresh Trucking for 3 years
until they decided to move to Oxnard (in the pollution), so I
quit. I then worked at Toyota in Fremont, CA as a
Document Control Engineer for 1 1/2 years and the that
plant expansion. I was known as Crazy Ron Son because I
teased the Japanese and they were not used to it. I was
there 2 years and then moved to Dallas, TX (where I am
now Feb 2007). I am the Business Officer for one of the
Dallas Community College campuses. I have a wife, Carol,
2 daughters and 6 grandkids (2 girls & 4 boys).
Update:
I now have a great-granddaughter born in January. I was
promoted to College Administrator in December. I am no
longer practicing my profession as a nurse, so will retire my
license when due next year. The picture is Carol and my
40th wedding anniversary trip to Alaska in summer of 2008.
I didn't get married until I was 25, so only married 41 years.
