Career after Xerox: Modern Business Systems (2.5 years). In 1988, I changed industries and went into selling pre-press solution when desktop publishing was becoming the big thing. I worked for 3-international firms (Linotype-Hell (6-years), BARCO Graphics (3-Years) and Scitex 1-Year) that took

me to Europe several times. I managed the western 2/3 of the U.S. for Linotype-Hell, North American Sales Director for BARCO Graphics and World Wide Sales Director for a start-up Varis.

In 2000, a friend and I started Management Recruiters of Newburgh, After 18-years, we dissolved the partnership and I opened my own firm, Clearfield Talent in 2018. I am working from home and have the flexibility that I want for someone who will be 75 this year.

this special time with my family.

I was in Vietnam 50-years ago and I had a lot of memories as evidenced by the pictures below. Martha gave me the picture with me in my current uniform and 2-shots from Vietnam. This is one of my prized processions.

I got an opportunity to go up and I flew it from the backseat for about 25 minutes. It was so exciting and the memories rushed back from 40+ years ago. Once I got in the plane (It was much more difficult because of my knees and I am sligtly larger by some 50 pounds), the smell, the sound of the engine starting and the feel on roll-ooff and landing was exactly as I remembered.
