Georgia is the love of my life, always inspiring, encouraging, and supporting me through the ups and downs in our marriage. We have been married for 60 years and are the definition of soul mates.
Georgia, I wish I met you sooner so I could have loved you longer. We have been and always will be together “For Better or Worse”. SanGeo
Thank You for all you have done, and continue to do for me, and our growing family.
Love You Eternally
This is our look of love After 61 years!
It’s in our eyes, our arms, our hearts and will never leave our souls. It fully paints the lives we have just told. It’s a soft sunbeam in the eyes, warming corners where laughter hides. A gentle curve of the lips, whispering secrets, fingertips to fingertips. A dance of brows, a knowing smile, erasing shadows for a little while. A melody hums in the air, unspoken words suspended there.
Sandy went from a street-roaming teenager during a Chicago recession to a corporate trailblazer at Sony right as consumer electronics exploded. His secret to success? As a young Marine, he completely ignored the societal stigma that "guys don't type" and mastered the typewriter. This seemingly mundane skill saved him from the infantry and unlocked a massive asymmetric advantage, which became his lifelong blueprint for mastering gateway technologies.
But What's Next? is far more than a memoir—it is designed to be an "open-source history of the digital age". Sandy's sprawling journey from early electronics to modern artificial intelligence is merely the "scaffolding" for a much larger project. Because the story of technology is the story of humanity, a single perspective is completely insufficient to capture the full scope of the digital revolution. This book explicitly needs your diverse perspective to be complete.
Reading Sandy's story gives you the "historical armor" to understand the massive tech shifts happening right now. But by contributing your own experiences—whether it's the one device that changed your life trajectory or a hilarious tech fail for the "Some Stupid Things I Have Done" section—you stop being a passive consumer of history. You become an active collaborator who helps democratize the historical record, allowing you to leave a lasting legacy for future generations
Georgia was fiercely independent and had just been accepted to travel the world as an American Airlines flight attendant, but a blind date in 1965 changed her entire trajectory. She happily traded the skies for a life with Sandy, embracing the role she proudly calls being a stay-at-home mom and "domestic engineer".
For nearly six decades, she has been the unwavering anchor to Sandy’s relentless career ambition. When Sandy launched a custom home business called Inglenook Homes, Georgia actively stepped in as the Design Coordinator. She offered him profound business wisdom, warning him: "You should be building for the masses, not for the classes". Sandy ignored her advice, built luxury homes right as interest rates skyrocketed, and nearly went bankrupt. Yet, in the face of financial ruin, Georgia remained his strongest supporter. As Sandy admits, she "stood by me all the way," even graciously allowing him to sell their newly remodeled house so they could start over in Florida. Whether Sandy was facing a terrifying misdiagnosis of terminal cancer, or the family was navigating the heartbreaking loss of their son, Scott, Georgia has always been the steadfast emotional glue that holds the "SanGeo" family together.
Why You Should Read and Contribute: Georgia’s journey is the beating heart of What's Next? Shocking! Her presence reminds us that technological revolutions don't happen in a vacuum—they happen alongside the spouses, families, and partners who support us through the chaos.
While reading the book gives you a front-row seat to the digital age, its true purpose is to serve as an "open-source history". The story of the digital revolution is incomplete without your diverse, human perspective. By heading to the Command Center and contributing your own experiences—whether it's about the people who supported your own career, or the specific technological shifts that altered your life's trajectory—you transition from a passive reader into an active participant, leaving a lasting legacy for future generations
