Work Summary
In May 2001 I retired from 35 years in Information Technology (IT). However I still remain involved in IT, maintaining my web site donsnotes.com, a Sierra Club Web site and a genealogy web site California Families. I also serve on the Board of the Amateur Computer Group of NJ (ACGNJ), and give talks on subjects like computers and genealogy.
