 Just glad that I am not as fat as Mickey and Quern. And I see that Kent still has that mildly bemused look that we all knew him for in our Academy days. I am currently the General Manager of a merchant power plant in Arizona. I have been married to Liliana for 9 years and our son Danny is 5 years old (see photo below). I will be going to the reunion solo, although George Toma lives here in Scottsdale and we will most likely travel together to KP.

 I would not call it exciting but I am living in Woodbridge VA with Mary and our 2 boys, Steven and Tommy. After 20 years as a Navy Nuke, I could not decide what to do after an active duty retirement, so I did not retire and came up to DC to work in the Standard Missile Program. However, starting in October, I am being pulled away to support the Navy Evaluation Team for Base Re-alignments and Closures for the next two years. The good news is we will not have to move for a while. We are looking forward to seeing 1983 classmates again. Class note: Woodbridge is in Prince William County - our Chairman of the Board of Supervisors is Sean Connaughton who is running for re-election this year.

 I ve just stopped after sailing as Master on board the Car Carrier, M/V Honor, in the US/Middle East Service for 6 years Before that I was sailing as Chief Mate to Alaska and the Middle East for quite a number of years, and did a stint as Director of Marine Operations for a passenger ship company, all following active duty USN time and work in ferries and small passenger ships--not to mention a trick as CO at KP for a bit. I had the pleasure of being in Kuwait off-loading cargo on the day of the (current) invasion, living in anti-chemical suits for 3 days, 13 SCUD alets--watching the helo's launch from the carriers via RADAR on their way to the beach. The ship I was on, Northern Lights, was awarded the Admiral of the Ocean Sea Award for 2003. Carol, originally from Gig Harbor, WA, and a former Cruise Director, and I have 3 boys--19, 16, and 8 and have been enjoying life in the Pacific Northwest when not away. Our oldest is at Washington State University. It is amazing the people who you meet in Kuwait! I was surprised to host our classmate Capt. Scott O'Connor as US Navy Pilot while docking in Kuwait. (Our photo made the Kings Pointer) Also, Bruce Cummings '80 (RC) has piloted a few times as well.

Position: NAVSEA PHILADELPHIA, Project Engineer

 It is hard to believe 20 years has gone by already, I think Plebe Year felt longer. The good part is that I now have 20 years of Government service to my credit, working in Philadelphia, and you know how they awarded me for all those years, they moved me into a new section with a new Supervisor (who acts like a drill instructor and has a funny first name) - Bumper Kunkle. Even worse, our Branch Head is this over-demanding, slave driver - Tom Bodman. If I was not married to my wonderful wife Dorothy and did not have two precious little gems (John, 8 and Amanda, 5), I would even consider going back to sailing on that old Lykes Lines, turtle, bull and grain hauling, Merchant that was my first sea year ship to Africa, that only carried food for half the trip. Actually, the post-graduation years have been great. I cannot seem to remember too much about things that happened beyond 11 years ago, but that is when I met my wife and she ruined, I mean, changed my lifestyle. There seems to be a lot of names missing from the list of people attending, I will try to touch base with anyone I have phone numbers for and see if they plan to attend. -see photo below-

 Gotta love that song! Nice website, many thanks to whoever put it together. Started laughing when the song played and my youngest (Audrey 10) wanted to know what was so funny! Needless to say it brought back many memories. Micki and I have now been married for 17 years. Two daughters, Rachel 14 soon to be 15 and Audrey 10. Just sold our home that we built in 1990 and am slowly migrating to our lake property in Indiana. Will reside in Illinois for another year and then officially make it so. Things are well and we cannot complain. We were planning on attending but NIPSCO, local power company at the lake decided to lower the lake for repairs on the hydros for the dam - needless to say it is an opportunity to clean the waterfront without the water. Happens once every 10 years. Have a great time and we will catch you on the rebound.

 It was great seeing so many of you at the Reunion last week! I am in Pittsburgh, single, working hard in a Customer Service Center for DISH Network (if you still have cable, try a DISH!). As for my life since KP, I worked in the Deans Office for 8 months after graduation, got an MBA from Pitt, taught Nautical Science at Texas Maritime in Galveston for 3 years (including sailing on their 1944 Training Ship the Texas Clipper), then sailed as 3/M for Keystone for about a year on crude oil tankers. I moved back to Pittsburgh in 1990, worked in retail for a bit, then got a job with DISH Network 5 years ago (just after the last reunion). For the first time I can say "I love my job"! Hectic, always changing, but the best people to work with. Now I have to work on my life outside of work....

Girl (16), boy (15), girl (14), boy (12) - very, very busy!! I see a gaggle of guys every year for a golf outing in Myrlte Beach - Jeff Coons, Mickey Cunningham, Jim Goulden (delivers pizza), Del Lewis, Mike Keane, John Rhatigan, Guy Wilson, and every leap year - Kent Morton joins us. We have a great time and look forward to it every year.

  Great seeing everyone at the reunion. Wish I could have spent more time talking to all. Good to see Kent will be joining the married(ie poor) ranks. Happily married for 18 years to Elaine. Three great kids Jack(14),Molly(13) and Harry(12). First season not coaching a soccer team in six years gives me way too much time to get in trouble. Hopefully basketball season will rescue my liver. I travel a lot so now I can call classmates when I travel to go out to dinner. Always looking to design and build new equipment for Navy and Power industry(ok thats enough sales stuff). Still not sure what I want to do when I grow up. Any ideas?

Looking at that picture of the guys golfing, I think Quern ought to give some of his hair to Del. Still trying to figure out if I can make it to the reunion. If Migs goes, I will go. I have not heard from him in about 18 years.

Position: H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center, Sr. Tech Architect

 After traveling as a network consultant specializing in Citrix for the last three years I have settled-in at the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center as the Sr. Citrix Architect. In a nutshell this means I am a server geek. Maybe I will finally stay with the same job for awile. Since graduation I have been on active duty navy, sailed on my license (upgraded to 1st A/E, since expired), worked as a port engineer, worked at the Kennedy Space Center in shuttle support, and owned and operated a business. The kids are grown now. My son Travis is in the Navy as a newly-frocked E5 Aviation Electrician, and my daughter is a junior in college studying for the Batchelors in Nursing. My wife, Lois, is still tolerating me after 22 years.
