Tom E. Turner’s Summary

After graduating from Stuyvesant High School of Math & Science in 1975 I was admitted to MIT. I remained in the Boston-area for more than 30 years, providing mostly hardware and software support, programming and teaching assistance at Harvard, MIT, and other organizations. As a volunteer I helped the public access tv and free + open source software communities . Recently I returned to my native New York to help reorganize the Port Washington Twin Pines Food Cooperative & Charitable Thrift.
