Mac Swope's speaks Blurbistically >>>>
Hi,
My given name is Henry McKinney Swope,
I was born in Texas. 1959
Have lived in Tennessee since 1970, 
Grew up in the small town of Braden, Tennessee...
...around the many kin and cousins of my Mom's (McCraw) side of family. 

You may have at one time talked with my mother and family historian,
Sara Beth Swope.

...I've lots of fond memories of a rural upbringing and friends.
...Graduate of Memphis State, er, University of Memphis ... 
               
...now live in Memphis, TN... busy, busy, busy...

My family: wife, Trish (enjoys sewing, if she had time )
           daughter, Tara ( enjoys swimming, if theres a pool )
           son, Austin ( enjoys puzzles, if we could figure him out )
           dogs: Penny pomeranian/poodle ( always needs a haircut)
                 Wolfgang ( some german shepard and who knows what..)

I enjoy camping, astronomy, model trains, woodworking, chess,...
... electronic gadgets,
..... computing ( long time devotee of the Texas Instruments 994a ),
........ but use an IBM 486 & 300 Mhz AMD K6-2 compatable, just to try to keep up.

I work for a company called "Floats and Fuel Cells",
as the R&D engineer that develops fuel tanks for small aircraft.
I use DESIGN CAD software for a lot of my development work.

... and no, TWA flight 800 didnt have a fuel cell...
 if interested in what I do, see my work page @ www.ffcfuelcells.com
