Welcome
My name is Doug
Crick and I live in Cefn Glas, a suburb of Bridgend
South Wales U.K. where I live with my wife Shirley. I
was born in Tondu, 3 miles from Bridgend.
We both have
children from previous marriages, and grandchildren
and great grandchildren. Mine still live in the
U.S. All of Shirley’s live within 2 miles of where we
live.
I spent over
two years in the British army as an electrician in the
R.E.M.E. regiment, then moved to America in 1949.
I am retired
and worked most of my life as a electrician in America.
After retirement, I spent some time in sales, then
finished the last eight years in Grant Pass Oregon, as a
security guard, prior to returning to the U.K.
My hobbies
include Ham Radio, being first licensed as
WN6HMI in Sept. 1969 in Los
Angeles California. Then as WB6HMI
in 1971. Living in Oregon for the next 23 yrs and
upgrading to ‘Extra Class’ Licence in 1989. Still hold
my U.S. call of WA7TZG in
addition to my U.K. call of
GW0WIM. Using
the internet on the computer and playing my
Keyboard and composing music, and writing short stories
are also hobbies I enjoy.
