MY DRIFT

 
My Drift expresses my views on various subjects including the problems facing Hawaii, the Nation and the World. I also research and write articles on subjects of interest to me and my readers.

I'm a Project Manager, Computer Systems Programmer, Webmaster, Writer and Handwriting Expert who retired from the Federal Government at Fort Shafter in 2010 and worked for a private computer company until 2021.

I grew up in Utah and have lived in Hawaii since 1970.

I started writing these articles in June 2006. For the time being I plan to write one or two articles a month.

My most recent articles will be featured directly below, then a break-out by subject category, and then an archive list of all my columns by date - if you ever want to read an old column or article, just find it in this list and click on it.

Thank you. Jerry
