  10. In 1975, Alex participated in Career Days at several grade schools. In order to keep the students’ interest, he donned all his climbing gear and put on safety gear to test for electrical hazards while standing behind his fully equipped installation van. He was honored to provide guidance to students. Here’s a couple of letters from the students.

  11. 1976 – 1981 Mountain Bell • Became a Service Consultant (SC) in the Marketing Department at 1800 N. Central. Worked with the hospitality industry. • After a couple of years, promoted to SCII. Responsible to technically assure telecommunication system designs. • Later supported the education and medical industries.

  12. Several job titles over the years with Mountain Bell, AT&T and Lucent Technologies. Essentially the job was technical sales support (designing telecommunication system and briefing account executives on how they worked). Below is from 1981.

  17. 28 YEARS OF TRAINING The Bell System (Ma Bell) provided many chances to increase knowledge. It could include anything from local schools to remote universities. The length of courses could be anywhere from 1 day to 2 weeks (most were 8+ hours a day)…and there were quite a few 2 week courses attended. Two week locations included Newark, Boston, Cincinnati, Chicago, Fargo, Denver and San Jose. The training sites provided ample opportunity to explore nearby cities…such as riding the subway through Grand Central Station in New York City at 3 AM. Or, driving up the coast of New England on I-95 during a bitter winter. Maybe visiting the ski resorts in Colorado. A lot learned and a lot of fun! I attended them all many times. I tracked 100+ different courses attended over the years…and there is only one “college diploma” among them... a Glendale Community College Business Administration AA degree. So now I list “School Of Hard Knocks” as where I got my degree from.

  18. Here are 3 different classes attended in Boston at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
