Bruce Wayne

Born in upstate New York in 1951 to a loving couple from the Greatest generation. I was at the front end of the baby boom and watched much of today's technology come into existence. I started out in a local public elementary school, where I had los of friends that lived in my town. We all knew each other and were growing up together in a quaint setting which was very "Mayberry-ish". I ended up being moved to a Catholic School in another town nine miles from my home school and friends where I got an education in resourcefulness and endurance at the hands of some very violent women who beat children and talked about God. In high school, I pretty much kept to myself, but I did try my hand at football, which I wasn't very good at, and I joined the Ski Team, which I loved and excelled at. That was my one real success at that point in my life. Upon graduation from high school in 1971, I joined the US Air Force, where I learned aircraft maintenance and worked on large jet aircraft. I love aviation so I felt like I was finally in my element. I bought a guitar and started to learn music and songwriting, with fantasies of being a popular singer-songwriter, but not all things are meant to be, though I did manage to write some songs and some poetry. One of the dominant topics of thought I kept in my head was about God and eternal life. I also loved to think about the universe and study astronomy. I wanted to know more than anyone could know and understand everything about God and Eternal life. After many not-so-great jobs and a marriage that ended after 22 years, resulting in the birth of two of the most incredible people I've ever known, I decided to go to college at the age of 49, where I got an education in electronics. I was fortunate enough to land a job as a technician building Neutron Detectors for the Spallation Neutron Source, located at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Oak Ridge TN. Still pondering God and Eternal Life I decided to write a book about my views on man and spirituality. So "Here I Am" in 2022 fulfilling the first step on the path that God is directing me to take.
