Doyle was born in a small town in Central New York to immigrant parents in the 1930s. His school years were relatively uneventful. Having completed all the requirements for graduation from high school in January rather than June, the normal month for completing all the courses, he elected to take a typing course, which has proven to be a most practical course and a skill used all of his life.He is a veteran of active duty in the US Army, having achieved a rank of E5 electronic technician in a guided missile battalion and three years in the US Marine Corps reserve. He attended college at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and has a degree in electrical engineering. He worked for the General Electric Company and other major corporations for more than forty years before retiring. He now lives near Albany in Upstate New York.view less
