Biography - John Brockschmidt - Springfield, Missouri One of my memorable accomplishments in HS was earning an Eagle Scout badge plus three palms above Eagle in Troop 49. Scout Master Beibel (Hanley Jr. High science teacher) had a very positive influence on me. I graduated from University of Mo. in Columbia, accounting, and served several years in Europe as an Army Lieutenant. I learned enough German to communicate reasonably well with the locals. On returning to the States, I was employed at Washington University where I met my wife, Barbara. On our honeymoon we traveled around Europe in a Volkswagen camper for about four months. After we returned to St. Louis, I developed data processing cost control systems for McDonnell Douglas. While there I joined their flying club and earned a private pilot's license. I transferred to computer services sales in Los Angeles and managed the Century City office for about 10 years. |
