Teddy Winters Gathright

I left East High during our senior year as my mother was dying with cancer. My stepdad got a compasionate transfer back to his home of record in Arizona. I had to take classes that the East High Teachers agreed were the equivalent to the ones that I had been taking and the grades had to be submitted so that I could graduate with my class. I graduated in absentia.
I served nearly three years in the U.S.Army with a two year stint in Germany.. After my mother died I had to go back to using my birth name when I enlisted.
I could not get work in heavy equipment repair after I got out of the Army because the Union waiting list was several thousand names long. This got me started in the electronics world. I did well in electronics and only needed a few semster hours to complete a degree in electrical engineering. I met this young woman from Canada and she married me and took me back to Canada as a souvenier. We lived in Victoria, B.C. Canada for twenty years and had eight children. I got a job with the TRIUMF neuclear physics facility in it's University of Victoria offices and started doing Magnet measurements and mechanical designs and interfaces for control equipment fot the Physisits. I made a name for myself and was therefore recruited to help build the Superconducting Super Collider. We move to Texas. I was one of the first people employed there and turned the lights of in the building when I left. We moved back to Canada. It took a full year at my mid fifties age to find another position but eventually was brought on at the Sycrotron Radiaton Laboratory at Stanford University. I have recently retired from that facility. As I let my landed immigrant status expire while I was working in California I can not return to Canada in retirement. I have come back to Texas to be near one of my daughters family. I look forward to having some time to touch bases with old school chums and other aquaintances. Send me an E-mail I like to communicate.
