Lauderdale area when they met.  Walter’s  father introduced them.   They were married six months later in Ft. Lauderdale. They have been married twenty years. Walter and Terey have five nephews, three nieces, and a new grandnephew. Walter was born in Detroit, Michigan where in attended Henry Ford Trade School.  After graduation he attended MIT in Cambridge, Massachusetts where he earned a degree in mechanical engineering and one in electrical engineering.  Following graduation he was hired by Douglas Aircraft which became      Mc Donnell Douglas and moved to California where he also attended UCLA and earned his Doctorate degree in electrical engineering. Walter worked on control systems for aircraft, rocket bombers and antimissile missiles. He retired from Mc Donnell Douglas in 1990 after 35 years and pursued his interests in Ham radios, computers and sailing. He volunteers in the Orange County Sherriff’s Disaster Communication Group and is currently the treasurer of the Orange County Macintosh User Group. He is also actively involved in managing and maintaining their rental properties. Terey was born in Akron, Ohio. She graduated from high school and attended Akron University. Following graduation she moved to Miami Beach, Florida and was hired by the Dade County Public School system. She went back to school to get a master’s degree in Special Education and a certification in school administration. This enabled her to become a special education resource teacher and to pursue a position in administration. Terey enjoyed her twenty years in Miami. The school system at that time was the fifth largest in the country which afforded her many chances to work in a variety of positions in the school district. She taught every elementary grade except kindergarten, was a teacher on special assignment working with a new math program, a Title One Facilitator, and a special education teacher. When Terey moved to California she applied to the Garden Grove Unified school District and was hired as a special education resource teacher, became a student program facilitator and then became the principal of Earl Warren Elementary School for the past seven years.  She will be retiring this June after 35 years in education. Walter and Terey plan on spending more time with family back east, taking road trips to explore California, sailing, dancing, and enjoying their many friends.
