Ecklund's Outpost |
 I
was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Dec. 1, 1946, literally on the banks of
the Rio Grande, in a motel. Moved to California in the 1960s. Met and
married Anita Wolf (Meyers) in 1969. We traveled around a bit, then moved to
Florida where we lived from 1979 to 2016.I went to work full-time at 13. Worked all kinds of jobs since then. Let's just say that, among other things, I know how to shoe a horse and scrape a boat hull. Served an apprenticeship for plastic injection mold making. Did every other kind of machine work from jig and fixture building to prototyping and machine rebuilding. Last shop gig was with Tropicana Products in the early 1980s. I switched hats again during a recession in 1981-82 when machining jobs dried up in Florida. I got a job with the Anna Maria Islander newspaper, where I advanced from photographer to editor. My last gainful employment was with Signs Now Corporation. I was with them for 19 years before returing and moving to Athens, Ala. Nowadays I grow tomatoes and handle home cooking chores, since Anita has retired from kitchen work. When there's time, I write. |
