About the Author

Jules was born and reared in New Orleans, La. He graduated from high school with sufficient credits and character references to meet Naval Academy entrance requirements. His goal was to retire after twenty years as a naval officer and in that endeavor; he refused a congressional appointment as he intended to achieve that goal without political obligation. He used the GI Bill to obtain a BEE at the University of Florida in 1964. The Boeing Company financed the Master’s Degree in Systems Management at Florida Technical in 1972. After thirty years and five different Contractors at Kennedy Space Center, he retired as an engineering manager from Boeing Aero Space at KSC, Fl.
