Coeliac Journey Through Covid-19 – Introduction

Introduction

I am coeliac and I had an interesting journey through the Covid-19 pandemic.

My experiences will be laid out in this narrative, as I believe they might be of use to someone.

I was born in 1947 and after a good education at Minchenden Grammar School in North London, I read Electrical Engineering and Electronics at Liverpool University, where in addition to getting a B. Eng degree, I met and married my late wife; Celia. We had three boys in the early seventies.

My working life was mainly spent in the solving of mathematical problems and writing software to perform complex calculations mainly in the fields of data analysis, project management, statistics and the solving of simultaneous differential equations.

The Artemis software, that I wrote in the 1970s, controlled the building of the Channel Tunnel, was the software of choice in the development of the North Sea oil and gas fields and was even used by NASA to plan the missions of the Space Shuttles and their refurbishment after each flight.

My business partners and myself sold the company to the American aerospace company; Lockheed in the 1980s.

Since then, I have been involved in various ventures.

The most successful was to back two inventors, who had developed an aerosol valve that used nitrogen as the propellant.

We sold that on to Johnson & Johnson, but the experience led to the development of the Respimat Inhaler for Boehringer Ingelheim.
