 Year married 1960
After graduation from BHS, Keith found a job with a civil engineering firm doing drafting and calculations for the northern section of the Garden State Parkway.  It was that experience that set him on the path to a career in civil engineering.
In the 1960's Keith served for 2 years as a draftsman in the Army's 806th Eng. Btn., married Carol Nygaard, and moved to Fort Wayne, Indiana, where he started again in college.  He graduated from Indiana Institute of Technology with a BS in Civil Engineering in 1963.  Keith and Carol went to Thailand in 1966 working in Bangkok working for months on road and site design for communication sites.  Later in the 60's he traveled to Iran working on a project in Teheran.  After they returned to the states in the 70's Keith worked on the design of a railroad tunnel connecting the Penn Central and Reading Railroad through Philadelphia.  The 80's found Keith and Carol in Massachusetts where he worked on design of railroad and Orange Line relocation in Boston.  This was the largest civil engineering project in Mass. at the time.  In the 90's Keith started his own civil engineering consulting business and worked on four sections of the "Big Dig" in Boston, the largest public works project in the U.S.
Keith feels that the highlights of his life were being able to adopt their two children and seeing them grow into fine adults and, finally, so far, being there when their daughter gave birth to twins, a grandson and grandaughter, in July, 2001.
Unforgettable moments?  Well, Keith still recalls, (with no little disgust), renting skates for a skating party while living in Teheran.  After getting one skate on with ease, he started to put his foot in the other to no avail.  Try as he might, his foot would not go all the way into the skate and he kept poking something soft in the toe.  After finally turning the skate upside down, a dead mouse dropped out.  To this day Keith wonders if that critter was already dead or if he poked the life out of it.
