When a six-year-old asked her grandfather, "Hey, Papa, what was your favorite fast food when you were growing up?" a barrage of stories about Tim Glennon's early and professional life emerged. His own childhood curiosity about an electrical outlet developed into a lifetime of electronics engineering work. Glennon presents in this book tales and anecdotes both amusing and factual. With digressions into technical aspects of his electronics engineering products that related to historical events, this selective memoir extends far beyond stories of interest to his five grandchildren. Rather, it records significant activities and characters, describing briefly Glennon's journey through education, work, family, friends, and achievements. Recounting many events familiar to the generation that lived through the 1930s and 1940s, Glennon records here his memories without intending to change or distort the facts. His memoir includes his marriage and raising of two talented and accomplished sons, developing retirement hobbies from long-standing interests, and now enjoying five grandchildren as they share with him their knowledge of twenty-first-century technology.
