    newHickLogoWhen the HixNews team met this month, and the weather was cold, we reminisced about the cold, snowy, and icy weather conditionswe remembered in Hicksville. That's why we are reprinting Ron Wencer's article, 20,000 Seconds Over Hicksville. Besides that, there is a brand-new Ancient Hixtory article from Ron and one from Wendy Elkis Girnis. We would love to add some writers to our team! Please email us at This email address is being protected from spambots.

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.
