During his career in software systems development, he worked in both the space program and defense industry until he retired in 2000. He now lives in Sterling, Virginia with his wife, Rose. They enjoy traveling to visit her family in Colombia, SA, and finally with enough time to indulge in his hobby of genealogy, he has built two web sites. http://www.fredhuckaby.com or http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/h/u/c/Fred-B-Huckaby
