I am retired from Collins Radio/Rockwell Collins (April 2006). I was employed
there for 40 years. I led a group at the airport that designs,
documents and installs avionics equipment into airplanes. I
have been involved with Cedar Rapids Audubon since 1989. I have
served as president for several of those years and also on the board in
other positions. I am currently the president (2011) /treasurer and membership chairman. I also do
volunteer work with the Linn County Conservation department doing
bird classes and studies of species in some of the parks. I have
also been involved with the DNR doing Henslow’s Sparrow studies
since 2004 at Pleasant Creek Lake State Recreation Area and also
moth studies in state parks. Since 1989
I have increased my photography activity a tremendous amount,
primarily with flowers and birds until 1994 when I started to
concentrate on butterflies and dragonflies. Since 2002 I have also
starting black lighting for moths. I also do a lot of landscaping in
my backyard including ponds.
