| − | Travis MacClendon just barely graduated from Louisiana Polytechnic University requiring five years and four summer school sessions, to<br /> include LSU, North East Louisiana University, and the University of Florida, for a B.S. in Mathematics after first trying the schools of Chemical<br /> Engineering and then Music. Ten years later and while maintaining an alcoholic haze that was to last an additional ten years, he<br /> graduated from the University of Southern California at Hawaii with an M.S in Scientific and Technical Management. In 1982 he left the United<br /> States Air Force having reached the under achieving rank of Major slightly ahead of a general courts martial for various failures and<br /> probably established a record for a regular commissioned field grade officer by receiving three disciplinary citations administered by a<br /> Lt. General in less than six months. Somewhere during this period he was married to a beautiful bleached blond with two exciting children. Currently he is married to a beautiful carefully maintained brunette with one unpredictable son.<br /> | + | |
| − | Mr. MacClendon worked for two major Aerospace corporations as a computer systems analyst primarily as the result of cleverly constructed<br /> resumes. He was moderately successful and retired at the age of 52. Interesting work assignments were with the Patriot Missile System, the F-14D<br /> Fighter Aircraft, Star Wars, and the Joint Strategic Targeting and Reconnaissance System. Interesting work places were the Pacific<br /> Ocean and under a mountain in the United States. Mr. MacClendon published numerous papers and documents with provocative titles such as "Some<br /> Investigations into a Device for Determining the Minimum Visible Signal of a Receiver" and "Spectrum Signature Measurements on the<br /> AN/FPS-26 Long Range Search Radar". He also wrote an environmental column for a monthly newsletter while living on Long Island. And he<br /> co-authored an unpublished book of the military science fiction genre with a plot so convoluted no publisher could understand it.<br />

| − | Mr. MacClendon has been a life long amateur ornithologist and has journeyed frequently to all continents of the world in the frivolous<br /> pursuit<br /> of listing birds, of which he has tallied almost 6000. He no longer suffers through piano lessons because his teacher fired him.<br /> However he does maintain a permanent level of expertise equivalent to a three-year piano student. He also expends much energy of a mad dogs and<br /> Englishman type in the field trying to key out vegetation and curates a herbarium for Calhoun County, Florida (see<br /> www.calhouncountyherbarium.org). One close friend used to invite him to golf once a week and another to tennis once a week but they both died.<br /> Recently, against all advice, he began invading the space of wasps and flies for the pictures which are displayed at<br /> www.calhouncountywaspsandflies.org View Diogmites salutans at risk of nightmares.<br />

| − | Mr. MacClendon currently resides in Blountstown, Florida with 25 acres of weedy fields of constant maintenance that he does not use but it frees<br /> him from a lawn fetish. In his spare time he reads science fiction. He fancies himself a number theory hobbyist but vaguely realizes<br /> that is pure fantasy. He has held various offices in the Audubon Society at local and state levels to include chapter President.<br /> He<br /> has been the Florida Native Plant Society (FNPS) Conradina Chapter President and at one point rose to his highest level of<br /> incompetence as the State FNPS Vice President of Finance.<br />

| − | Mr. MacClendon is happy and well adjusted.
