What a great response Jay

Briefly here is mine

While in college I enjoyed chemistry, economics, accounting, calculus as applied to EE

Didn't like statistics, study of solids in motion (sill have dreams about failing exam)

Most useful course by far was economics.

First job with Ex-Cell-O in Detroit (1961). They made large machine tools

Then a few years with the family business. Started my own company in 1966.
Semi-retired in 1978 and moved to Florida. My company was sold to UTX and
still exists with a few long time employees still slugging it out.

After I graduated in 1961 I bought a Fiat for $200. of borrowed money.

Never bought APPL in the early days because I thought it was a stupid name for a computer company.
I have a lot of AAPL presently.

I have been playing golf for 80 years and I am about to get married again. Last wife
died 6 years ago.
