My name is Lawrence (Larry) Lund, I live on Long Island New York in Suffolk county. I am 75 years young, (as of September 2008). I am married to my wife Monica (nickname Pinky) for 52 yrs. and have six grown children and 14 grandchildren and 1 great granddaughter. All but five grandchildren live within 10 minutes of my house, two live in Florida and three moved to Missouri in 1998, we had been visiting the Florida group every year during school recess. This allows us to take some of the other grandchildren with us. We started visiting Missouri in 1999. My hobbies are Halloween, fishing, woodworking, computing and a whole bunch of other things. I keep very active.
I was an Air Traffic Controller, and Data Systems Coordinator for the FAA for 32 years 8 months and retired in 1986. I worked for Northrop/Grumman as a Senior Software Engineer after retirement from the FAA. This is the same job I did for the FAA before they contracted it out. I retired from Northrop/Grumman in 2003 after 17 Years.
Two of my sons are also Air Traffic Controller's. Steve is a controller at the New York Air Route Traffic Control Center on Long Island and Larry Jr. was a controller at the New York Tracon with a couple of stints in Hawaii. Larry had a tragic accident in May of 2005 while stationed in Hawaii. He suffered severe brain damage and is on disability retirement from the FAA. We flew him back to the mainland and he is presently in a nursing facility receiving therapy. My oldest grandson Steve graduated college ( 2004) at the Community College of Beaver County PA. finishing the Air Traffic Controller course. He is an electrician awaiting employment. His brother Russell joined the Air Force and became an Air Traffic Controller. He went to the same school I did in Biloxi Mississippi over 50 years later. Another grandson Joseph is in the Community College of Beaver County PA. and should finish in December of 2008 to become an Air Traffic Controller. I am very active in decorating for Halloween and Christmas. We have quite a crowd come around to see what we have displayed for Halloween. Click here to go to my Halloween page.
