PROFILE:
After graduation from MPHS in 1961, started work at International Wire in Midland Park. Then started in the Postal Service in 1962. Entered the US Army in 1963. After a year in South Carolina, served 2 years in Germany with the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment.
After the service, I went back to work again in the HoHoKus Post Office, and also went to computer school (PSI in Hackensack) at night '67 to '68.
In 1983, I married Laurie Auletta of Park Ridge, NJ. We first met at a mutual friends house in 1979 in Warwick, NY, at a horseshoe event for the guys. When she showed up with her girlfriend, she picked up a horse shoe and -- unbelievably -- threw a ringer ! I was hooked............ and, she has never thrown a horseshoe again ! We have no children.
Left the Post Office in 1984 to start a new career as a salesman for a Satellite TV Company; and in 1987 started my own Satellite TV Company in Gardiner, NY: Microstar Satellite Sales and Installation. At that time we put up mostly residential systems........ the 10- and 12-foot dishes, and then, later, the small DirecTv dishes. I still do DirecTV dishes part time.
My hobbies: hunting, fishing, snow-mobiling, and going to the Outer Banks with classmates.
