I was a Jeweler for 9 yrs,until I lost most of my vision due to Diabetes.After some eye surgery I was able to go back to school and get a degree in Aviation Technology-I had worked on airplanes most of my life, mostly Radials and Allison V-12's.I worked at American Trans Air out of Indianapolis for a while until my Kidneys went bad (from diabetes) so I had a kidney transplant and retired to a 15 acre farm in Mooreland,IN-the birthplace of Wilbur Wright-near Muncie.
