from UMass Amherst in Chemistry and Food Technology. </span><span style="color:#00B050"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

was born and that coupled with more than a decade of Alzheimer's, I really didn't have many adult years with him to discuss his schooling, Navy and Army services. I do remember going thru numerous testings (and eatings) of some of his microwave projects. He
consulted with Weight Watchers (microwave pizza), Ore Ida (french fries) and Orville Redenbacher (popcorn). Also part of IMPI - International Microwave Power Institute. Are you able to help me put some of his college information (pieces in the puzzle of his
life) at all?</span><span style="color:#00B050"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
