I retired from government service in 2005 after 36 years of service, all of it in the cryptographic/telecommunications arena. Married 46 years to a tiny blonde I met in the Air Force (also a federal retiree). Two married daughters - Melissa is a supervisory engineer at Cummins Engine in Columbus, IN and Becky is a team leader at an eBay distribution facility in Louisville, KY. Four grandchildren - the oldest will be a junior at Indiana University. We are now full time residents living in Alva, Florida (just north of Fort Myers). We volunteer with the hospice mission in SW Florida and serve on the board of our local library. We are frequent international travelers and enjoy cruising. Looking forward to the 50th reunion.
