Hello Rene. I am "Doc" to many members here but actually I'm Richard. The "Doc" is due to having a PhD in chemistry from my younger days before a combination of family and economic issues diverted me to "pure" computing as a career. That nickname sprang up at the office because there were two Richards in the group and I was less senior. So the group leader was Richard and I was "Doc" - and it stuck when I moved to a new group. I spent 28 1/2 years with the U.S.Navy (various branches) as a systems administrator and security person.. and database person. I retired in 2016, sad to leave my really great colleagues but ... I was ready to retire.
As to where I live now, it is a suburb a few miles west of New Orleans called "Metairie" - a good French name. My wife is a "true" Cajun in that we have traced her ancestry to the Acadian Diaspora from Canada in the 1730s - the moral equivalent of a person with British ancestry claiming to have arrived on the Mayflower. Though as is typical of Cajuns, she has a little touch of Spanish ancestry from the Grand Canary Islands. With solid French AND Spanish heritage, you might guess (correctly) that she is a devout Catholic. I'm not Catholic but that fact didn't stop her from loving me. The kids and the grandkids don't care either.
