Dave Levene

I was born and lived the first 20 years of my life in Kansas City, Missouri. I attended Bancroft elementary school, Paseo High School (Class of 1961), and Kansas City, Missouri Junior College (Class of 1963) where I received an Associate Degree in Engineering. I was active in the Boy Scouts of America during many of those years. The next 3-1/2 years I lived in Rolla, Missouri where I attended the University of Missouri at Rolla and earned a B.S. Degree in Applied Mathematics and M.S. Degree in Engineering Mechanics. On August 18, 1966 I married Carol Ann Childress in Kansas City, Missouri. We met each other while singing in the Vocollegiates at the Kansas City, Missouri Junior College. Carol and I lived in Rolla, Missouri while I finished my college courses. In early 1967 Carol and I moved to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where I worked for Westinghouse Electric Corporation for three years as a Structural Design Engineer. In early 1970 Carol and I moved to Overland Park, Kansas. I worked for Western Electric/AT&T in Lee's Summit, Missouri as a Manufacturing Engineer for the next 25 years. In 1972 Carol and I had a daughter, Danielle Alexandra Levene. In 1995, I transferred to the AT&T design and manufacturing location at Mesquite, Texas which became part of Lucent Technolgies. Carol, Danielle, and I relocated to McKinney, Texas in 1996, and I continued to work at the Mesquite location until I retired in 2001. Since then I have worked around the house, helped family members, especially my mother and daughter, traveled with my wife to see much of the USA, and done volunteer work with the local chapter of NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness).
