At GWU, became a data base administrator, manager, coordinated the Universities Year 2000 project, was a data administrator, and finally a professional IT trainer. Retired from GWU on my birthday Sept 2012.
Have always enjoyed playing tennis but have not played in the last year. We lost our adult son in March 2013, complications with dialysis and toxicity. Am physically active and enjoy walking and lite jogging. Like to read and listen to audio books.
Am an adjunct professor of information technology at a local college in the District of Columbia.
Meet annually with a small group of my undergraduate classmates. We have a great time.
The good lord has blessed me well and I thank him daily.
