Dear Synergy Press fans:

"John Acevedo was born on October 24, 1945. He would have been 81 years old today.
He graduated in the Class of 1967 at MIT (Cambridge, MA) with a Bachelor's Degree in Physics and went on to receive his Master's Degree in Engineering at The University of Maryland (College Park).
While working for 38 years (Westinghouse/Northrop Grumman), my late-father John had enjoyed such occasions as MIT Reunion Weekends at Cambridge, MA that I would later attend with him.
He loved to inspire those who had an interest in his opinions and travelled the United States, Alaska, Europe, and Hawaii & liked Maui because, he said, it appeared to him as his native island of Puerto Rico was for him growing up.
He liked to drive in his Porsche, cook me Puerto Rican food, and as his San José classmates (high school) informed me was "always ahead of the curve". He also was well-informed and always read online the latest news before translated by network television every evening that he would also watch. I remember his advice and will keep his drive to be the best with me for the rest of my days."
