Obituary supposedly available at
        https://candfservices.com/obituaries/ronald-paul-salvage/
but is was not!

I went to Carnegie Institute of Technology, but that didn’t work out so I joined the U S Army (1961-1965), learned Russian & worked as a translator in Germany. My wife (44 years married) & I graduated together from Berkeley in 1969 with degrees in Social Welfare. In the early 70’s, I was a photographer in the Bay area of California. After that, I worked in the Post Office to pay off student loans. In 1974, we moved to Maine & built (with our own hands, from scratch) our house & gardens. Building was so satisfying that I worked for five years as a builder. I worked as a counselor with troubled teens for several years & for several more years again in the Post Office. We adopted our son in 1977. Late in the 1980’s, I went back to school to become a teacher. Since then, I have worked as an elementary school special education teacher in Maine & in Florida. Now, I have retired & enjoy remodeling our American Craftsman bungalow & continuing with photography.
