And I am active in Mensa, currently serving as the Editor of Channel M, newsletter of the Channel Islands group. I was also their LocSec (President) for four years and am making a second run for Regional Vice Chairman of American Mensa's R egion 9. I also coordinate the Creative Mischief SIG.
I also belong to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). I also belong to their Computer Society. One of my current interests is MicroElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS). There is a clearinghouse for information on this field, and a neat site for some graphics of examples.
The first diesel locomotive
This is an ASME historical landmark, located at the National Museum of Transportation near St. Louis. I love museums, but the Dog Museum in St. Louis was a bit disappointing. It was an art museum and I was expecting to see Rin Tin Tin stuffed and on display.
For a number of years I was active in a local singles club, 25+ Singles Club (formerly 25-45 Singles Club), serving for a while as President. I had a lot of fun and have worked my experiences into a talk on The Successful Single. And now that I have moved, I am active in several other singles clubs.
