Varne Beckwith |

Class of 1958. Rio Varne Beckwith. French Club, Traveling Assembly, Model U.N., Senior Sluff Day Committee. ~ ~ ~ ~ I worked for five years at Hercules in Salt Lake City (as a rocket scientist); five years at Eastman Kodak in Rochester, New York; and 27 years at Hughes in Los Angeles. Along the way I also picked up a Physics degree at BYU and did graduate work in Mathematics at the University of Rochester. Since retirement in 1999 I have alternated between travel and work. The main reason for my continued peripatetic lifestyle is that I can't decide where I want to live. I would like to be some place quieter and less crowded, but 34 years in southern California has turned me into a total weather wimp! Preferred email address: rvbeckwith@compuserve.com @2006 |
