Dwight's Story
Hey, did not actually graduate with the Crestwood Class of 1969 due to being transferred to Western Branch High, but most of the people in that class I had known since Crestwood Jr High and 9th and 10th grades at Crestwood high school. I played in the band (marching and concert, Alto Sax) ) with Mr. Owens as Director and sang in the choir, Directed by Mr. Sanford. Think I was quite shy...most of the time. Trying to remember home room and that sort of thing, but can't pull it out right now. Remember also riding Ms Richardson's bus (can't remember the #), and Ms Jones bus, she had a daughter named Stella, they lived in Pughsville...
Joine...Expand for more
d the Army after a short break...trained in Fort Jackson SC and Fort Devens Mass...then off to Sinop Turkey for a year and then Pirmasens Germany for a bit over two years.
Came back to VA and began work at Langley Research Center (NASA) in 1973 and have been there until now. Working in flight test for the entire time (which is almost unheard of), while others moved around to different disciplines...has been quite a ride...never imagined doing this and could have found few things that would have been more satisfying.
Truly feel blessed for all the opportunities and privileges.
Retired from Langley Research Center 31 December 2011...:-)
