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.
