 Additional Information
What are you doing now:

I retired from the AF in 1972.  I then was hired by the US Coast Guard as a civilian District Safety Manager as a GS 11.  I received the Sec. of Transportation's Silver Medal for Mertitorious Achievement two times for my work in safety and I  advanced in grade.  I transferred to the FAA where I was ultimately Selected for the Senior Executive Service.   My last postion with the FAA was Executive Leader of the Product team for GPS and Navigation.  I flew FAA airplanes out of National Airport for several years as an adjunct ot my headquarters job.  After I retired from the FAA I served as an ad hoc member ot the Air Force Scientific Advisory Board for three years working on air navigation issues.  I also served as a member ot the civilian GPS Requirements Review Board sponsored by the Air Force Space Command.  While with the FAA I worked closely with DoD on GPS issues involved in civil use of the signal.  After I retired for the second time I formed a small photography business and pursued that.   One thing that really gratified me was that I served with retired General Bernard Schriever on the the GPS Requirements committee.  It was an honor to know him briefly.  Great stories.  Currently I am involved in local government and competitive age group swimming.
