The Penn State Alumni AssociationWhat’s been happening: Marcy and I are now happily retired in Pensacola, FL, near our youngest daughter, Michelle and son-in-law Andy, who are both E-2C Hawkeye Naval Flight Officers, stationed at NAS Pensacola. They are the proud parents of Lucy Beatrice, born at the end of 2008. Eldest daughter, Deborah, continues her career as a composer, conductor and keyboard performer, currently on Broadway with "Jersey Boys." She and husband Jonathan are bi-coastal, with residences and offices in New York and Los Angeles. Middle daughter, Ellen, along with husband Aryeh and their children Leah and Ethan live near Toronto, Canada. Ellen is a Food Scientist who heads up Product Development and R&D for the family's beverage and sauce business. Our son Richard is a member of the New Jersey National Guard who is serving a tour of duty in Iraq with the US Army. We await his safe return. After graduating Penn State, I went to work for the National Security Agency which started my 41-year odyssey working for and with the Department of Defense and the US Military establishment in Communications Intelligence, Software Engineering, Systems Analysis and Project Management. Moving from government service to RCA in 1977, I progressed through the management ranks, changed companies in 1989 and finally retired from Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC) as a Director at the end of 2006. |
