I was always interested in things electric - TV, radio, tubes, insulators, fuse boxes, etc.
Electricians were people that I was impressed with - not doctors,lawyers or Indian chiefs. I couldn't picture myself doing those types of things. I was and still am interested in other careers but this is the one I ended up with and I like it. I just wish that I had gone on my own sooner.
I also loved to watch Barney (Greg Morris) on "Mission Impossible". He was always making these mysterious black-box type devices that always worked as he had planned. He was probably my biggest influence.
