I'm not sure if anyone other than Pat and Mike has a webpage. Which reminds me of an Irish joke: Pat and Mike walk into a bar....

Yes, we are all engineers

It is genetic. My father, Andrew H. Farrell was a college trained Architectural Engineer (Iowa State, '34). My grandfather on my mom's side, Harry Andrew Scogin, was a steam locomotive train engineer for Union Pacific railroad.

Bonnie's father was a trained Electrical Engineer. Three of my brothers are Professional Engineers (all Mechanical). I even spent all of my undergraduate education in the ME department at Virginia Tech, and my first job after graduation was as an Engineer. Then I turned over to the dark side, and became a software engineer. As did my little brother Mike.

It just keeps going on. At a recent family reunion, we met Al Klouda, who is married into the Farrell family. He is a engineer, as are at least two of my first cousins. At the reunion, Al's wife said that she was looking to meet an Engineer in college, and that "they were easy to spot, because they all had slideules clipped to their sides." So natrually, I had to find my sliderule so we could all talk about what geeks we were in college.
