Walter's Story
Life
High school at Melrose HS to UMASS Amherst, to MS degree at Syracuse (SUNY College of Forestry). Fell in love with photogrammetry, the science of measurements on aerial photographs, which lead me to interesting career in military related activities, some with USAF as mapmaker, to DOD contractor, and now as Govt DOD civilian with US Navy with the TOMAHAWK program. I have been with the Navy as the lead engineer in targeting for quite a while, and have been branching off into related fields. I am stationed at Arlington, VA but spend a lot of time travelling. We have user sites in London, Hawaii, and Norfolk VA plus lots of ships. I have been deployed on a few carriers off the coast of Bosnia and Iraq. not much fun but very interesting.
I have 2 children one boy...Expand for more
and one girl. One has graduated from Steven's Institute of Technology with a degree in Chemical ENgineering. She is now working in Reno NV with an alternate energy/bio-deisel company. My son is at George Mason and will graduate next Jan; after that, no more tuitions to pay. :)
I have been married 27 years to a girl from TX I met while stationed at Cheyenne Mtn CO. We married in 1978 after my tour at Shemya. She is a nurse.
All and all, life has been good. Four more years to retirement!
