Uncle Bud
My grandfather's, Wilbert H., first child Wilbert Charles 'Bud' was born in Philadelphia in 1918. Eight years older than my father he has spent his life and career in Pennsylvania and also in Long Island in aerospace. He came back to Pennsylvania and settled in an adjacent property to my grandfather's farm. While never completing high school, Bud developed great competence in electronics, mechanics, technical problem solving and customer service he has always and he continues to have a thirst for knowledge. He translated the knowledge and skills into a successful industrial career.

My dad began moving away from technical and more into sailing, camping, traveling across theUS and cruising. Bud and his wife, Mary attended our family reunions, graduations and summer get togethers when my folks visited from Florida. (Photo Gwen's H.S. Graduation 2001 - l to r Dad, U.
