    newHickLogoThank you to Kenneth Arnold, Class of 1965, for contacting us. Although the biography was hidden on the website, we thought our readers would like to read about The Dynamics, so we are featuring it here this month. We have a new article from Dr. Kumpikas and a new addition to Ron Wencer's Ancient Hixtory: an article about Leon Galloway! The Hicksville Gregory Museum is in financial distress. Thank you to Ryan Vicino for the article and information about how you can help.  We are happy our readers are using the Member Comments, and they appear at the end of this month's newsletter.  When you are logged into the site, scroll to the bottom of an article and leave us a comment!

Fifty years since we graduated. I still see the guy in the yearbook when I look in the mirror. I went to college, graduating from Florida State University in April 1965.

After graduating I spent a year trying to find myself, including substitute teaching at Hicksville High School. How weird to be a substitute teacher there.

In April 1966 I went to work for the Federal government, starting in New York and in 1969 transferring to Washington, where I have spent the bulk of my life. I spent most of my career at the Government Accountability Office (GAO), assessing the effectiveness of government programs.

After almost 40 years as a fed I technically retired and have since worked for a defense contractor and currently for a congressional commission on wartime contracting. I have had the good fortune to have traveled extensively for both work and pleasure, including most of the 50 states and many countries throughout Europe and the Middle East.

I have been married for almost 30 years and in addition to my lovely wife have two lovely daughters, age 28 and 22.
