   Biography - The Early California Years

I moved to Mountain View, California, from Las Cruces, New Mexico, in 1974, to work at Lockheed Martin in Sunnyvale, CA. Much of my early work was onboard Trident submarines. One good friend during the early days in California living on Escuela Avenue, Mountain View, was Barbara Barkalow . I belonged to the Jaycees where I made some friends - Harvey Bell, Jane Lampe (Hertz), and others. We sang in hospitals, sponsored races, and had lots of dinners!
I met Barbara Rosie Bank, Debbie Poochigian, Richard Stading, Angie DeBaradino, Chuck and Sherri Hitt, Marian DeClercq (Marian Howe), Jim McClean, Paulette Poulsen, Charlotte Zelmer, 'Woody' Woodhall (she used to sing at the King of Clubs), Robin Horton (Robin Loringer), Jenevieve Horton (rest her soul in peace), Mike, Lisa Lamonds, Diane Watterworth, Kathy Burk, Charlie Hasselbach, Jan Sager, Sheri Ross and alot of other wonderful friends. Debbie Poochigian

My best friend Debbie Poochigian from SouthPark Apartments. 1976.

We hiked in Big Basin. Went to southern California, Carmel, and local beaches. Had alot of fun. She liked to travel as a Flight Attendant with TIA. I didn't like to travel. And so we drifted apart...

We had alot of great get-to-gethers and parties at the pool.
Norm Plate - The Gentle Giant My best other friend, Norm Plate, a great personality, takes pretty good photos, and he dances pretty good, too! 1994. Ted use to have some pretty darn good parties at his house at 475 Everett Avenue, in Palo Alto during the 1970's. Take a stroll down memory lane and see Norm Plate, Corb Smith, John Van Dyll, and a bunch of other folks!
     
Patti Ward. We lived together for 8 months. Married now with a couple of wonderful kids! Echo Lake.1986. Patti Ward Geyer I'm still working at Lockheed Martin because it's a great place to work. Lots of variety. Lots of opportunities to develop hundreds of computer interfaces, human computer models, user guides, trade studies, training studies and curricula, usability studies, and web-based applications.

Mary 'Melons' Powell and Me

Mary Powell and Me. 1982.

Mary worked at Intel as a color coordinator for web sites. Any color as long as it's BLUE. She drove me crazy. Saw her at the 2001 Los Altos Art and Wine Festival with her sidekick Janis Karpowich. Both still obnoxious. Mary's now an independent contractor in web style.

One of the things I've been interested all my life is fitness. It's not just a fad. So in 1979, I developed the Every Body Fitness Program as an alternative to the ballistic, jumping jack parcourses and fittrails. Only 6 outdoor park and recreation associations, private fitness clubs, and hotel / motel chains installed the program. So goes my entrepenuieral adventure. Linda Webster-Williams helped. The Deepsloweasy Fitness Program is the online, personal version.

Party, party, party with Norm, Betty, John, Ted, Marshall, Chandler, and who knows who else?

We had a bunch of fun parties at Pescadero Beach, too!

My friends in Zayante, California - Sherri and Chuck Hitt. They let me stay at their house one weekend and I decided to look for a house in the Santa Cruz Mountains

Sherri and Chuck Hitt

I met a wonderful person, Victoria Fought, in 1984 at the Kings Mountain Art and Wine Festivel. I felt very peaceful with her, remarkedly so. She liked sweaters, things in brown paper bags, honeysuckle, and Jessie (more than me).    

My brother, Ted.  The White Lionel
