Six Facts That Most People Would Not Know About Me

  1. I was watching a film at the Chrysler exhibit at the 1964 New York World’s Fair when I decided to go to Georgia Tech, become a mechanical engineer, and design cars at Ford (we were a Ford family; Chrysler would never do!).
  2. I worked at a grocery store in Forsyth, and later Atlanta, for six years, while I was at Mary Persons High School and at Georgia Tech.
  3. I attended every Mary Persons football game, home and away, during the four years I was at Georgia Tech.
  4. I graduated with a degree in mechanical engineering from Georgia Tech and started work at Ford, designing trucks, not cars, in June 1978.
  5. I decided to get my hair cut at a chain hair styling place at the old Houston Mall in the fall of 1988; Sherry Moxley Meyers (not her name then!) happened to cut my hair. I followed her around from place to place until she started High Maintenance Salon / Spa. She cut my hair until she changed her schedule to spend more time with her son. I still get my hair cut at High Maintenance; Awesome Jamie Dawson is my stylist now.
  6. I was engaged to a pretty Romanian nurse, who lived in Italy, for about a week and a half. I have a slightly used, well traveled (been to Italy and Romania!) engagement ring, if anyone is interested….
