Hi, I'm John Cartlich
Born in 1945, Married 41+ years to the same good woman (poor thing), 3 kids, 6+ grandkids, 1 dog, 4 cats (right now). Hobbies, Firearms, Model Trains (Trolley Cars trip my trigger), Automobiles, helping selected local newbies. Some college credit. Basic electronics and communications training for USAF Radio Relay. WU, 1 year. Hearing aids and hearing test equipment, 3 years.(Don't, it's not funny anymore) Six years of Code-A-Phone repair, then in 1980, the C-A-P dealer decided to start an interconnect division and I wound up Ops Mgr, head tech, and chief flunky! Factory training/schools & correspondence courses: Mitel ITT, TIE/Nitsuko/NEC, ALCATEL, INTERTEL, Samsung, INNLINE, IWATSU. Other brands that shall remain nameless, self-trained. Mostly retired now, emphezema limits my physical ability. (If you smoke, QUIT.)


When I was young, I was Liberal. As I aged and wised up, I became Conservative. Now that I'm old, I have settled on Curmudgeon.
