Richard Brock (Quack)

Here’s the short version of my bio. Went to Sam’s Tech for (2 yrs) in Indianapolis, off to Iowa to work for Collins Radio (13 yrs), 2 kids, and back to Ft. Wayne, IN to work for Magnavox/Hughes/Raytheon (currently at 28 yrs service and still counting). In the meantime, I got my BS from Tri State, moved to Madeira Beach, FL (still working for Raytheon) and live here now pretending like I’m retired. I re-married in 1998 and picked up 3 step-kids and love the family “grandfather” life as I now have 3 grandkids.

I’m battling cancer and currently in the middle of chemotherapy, but feel positive that I’m going to lick it. After the health issue, I don’t feel like I can retire due to the mega bucks being poured out by my work insurance. Nevertheless, I love what I’m doing; we love the weather down here as we’re near enough to the beach to enjoy the sea breeze, but far enough away to not have to battle the characters that roam the beach and the red tide. We’ll play dodge-the-hurricane this summer again, but from Nov. to May you couldn’t ask for better weather.

Here’s a picture of me in Indian Rocks Beach after visiting one of the many festivals.

Well wishes to all!
