Les was in the U.S. Army right after Korea and he stayed active in the Reserves for many years. He was an electronic technician working in the space program at General Electric in King of Prussia PA. He was involved in the space program that sent the first monkeys into space. He then became a bio-medical tech and worked for many years on heart monitors at Jefferson Hospital in Philadelphia.
