I have been president of the great class of 1958 for about 30 years. My predecessor took a job out of town. As class vice president, I took over and have held the job ever since.
I was commissioned in the USAF upon graduation. We ('58) were the last class to do so gently since the USAFA graduated their first class in 1959. I selected Air Force Ground since my vision wouldn’t get me a line commission in the Navy.
I started my Air Force career as a Ground Electronics Officer which made me a Radar Maintenance Officer after a year of school in Biloxi, MS. Given the option I went back to school (University of Michigan) and got a Master of Science in electrical engineering which entitled me to a radar maintenance assignment in Vietnam. Upon return (at my request) I was assigned to teach computer science at the Air Force Academy. After two years of that (again at my request) I was sent to the University of Texas at Austin for a Ph.D. in computer science. This was followed by a four-year tour at USAFA teaching the computer stuff at a higher level. I completed my Air Force career with the Defense Communications Agency as deputy for computer systems. I retired and began my civilian career with CACI doing computer contract work, mostly for the government.
In my spare time I went back to teaching as an adjunct professor at George Washington University.
My part-time hobbies involved distance running and competitive swimming. I had to quit the running but am still swimming.
I am decade rep for 40's and 50's. I don’t believe the 30's have any remaining reps.
