Hello, my name is Norval Bell and it is a pleasure to have you take this Information Technology class; now, a little bit about me.  I was born in South Jamaica Queens, New York, and at the ripe age of 17 years set off to new adventures (joined the Navy). I retired after completing 24 years of military service; attended Florida Community College of Jacksonville (FCCJ), Columbia College of Missouri, and Webster University of St. Louis.   I have a Masters Degree in Computer Information and Resources Management, and enjoy teaching Computer and Networking type courses.  It's always a joy sharing knowledge that can be passed on and on (little jewels of life).  I have four children and three grandchildren, a son that is currently in the Army and three daughters that try to drive me nuts. I'm currently working in the Credit Union Industry as a Network Engineer / Security Manager, and also have a small computer service business.  I am looking forward to sharing my computer adventures with you, and good luck in your endeavors.
