No attempt was made to put in chronological order my tours of duty
in the Navy or my studies at Stanford. My two Navy tours were both
on destroyers and both in the South Pacific so they melded together
story-wise. The first Navy tour was 1947 to 1950 followed by a term
at the University of California at Berkeley studying liberal arts,
and a year at Stanford studying liberal arts and business. The second
Navy tour was 1951 to 1953 followed by another year at Stanford. After
receiving my MBA from Stanford I worked for five years at Hewlett-Packard,
returned to Stanford for a years study in Graduate Electronics
and then in 1960 founded WILTRON Company, where I worked for the next
32 years, interrupted occasionally by a sabbatical in Europe and foreign
travels.
