The Spouse's (Bill's) Corner
I thought I would take this space to tell you a little about me. I have only a cursory interest in politics. I tend to get deeply involved in campaigns because it is important to support one's spouse. The rest of the time I will be out of sight. Until August 1, 2001 I was a structures engineer in the Military Airplane Division of Boeing working on the Joint Strike Fighter, JSF (Video, Pictures) We designed, built and flew 2 prototypes.. It is one of the most exciting programs I have worked on in my 34 years at Boeing. I was initially stationed at Edwards Air Force Base in support of the flight test program. The NASA Dryden Flight Research Center is just down the road about a mile from our offices. While working at Edwards, I joined a wonderful Church, the Apostolic Shepherd Fold in Lancaster CA. It was a dramatic change from the Presbyterian Church I have attended all my life. I am now attending Sanctuary of Praise United Pentecostal Church (UPCI) in Bellevue on Newport. At off times I go to St. Clare's Episcopal Church in Snoqualmie where Ava and my daughter Diane attend. I then moved on to the Naval Air Facility at Pax River Maryland where I worked the last two months before retiring. I serve as an member of the Issaquah Library Board which is an exciting job with the new library just built. I also serve as their secretary. You may be wondering about my qualifications to be a secretary. My chief qualification is that as the newest full member of the board, I drew the short stick. My favorite recreational activities are all kinds of skiing in the winter and hiking in the Summer. In the last year my biggest climb was Snoqualmie Mountain. I have lead a number of climbs on Mt. Rainier (in my younger days) and have climbed Mt. Saint Helens before and after it erupted. Since retiring I have added horseback riding to my list of activates. I am taking lessons with the grand kids. I also try to do a midweek hike each week. October 3rd 2001 Dave Gimmestad and I hiked to Third Burroughs Mountain at Sunrise in Mount Rainier National Park. We saw 9 mountain goats that were grazing right next to the trail.
These are my grandchildren, Kaleigh, and Joshua Frisinger. planting flowers in our front yard for Ava on Mothers day.
I am the one responsible for maintaining this web site so I do stay somewhat involved in politics. If you see any problems with this web site or have any suggestions let me know. I can be reached at: bill@frisinger.net Please note, any spelling errors are mine. I sometimes update without running it past Ava. |
