Joseph's Story
Life
Transferred to Williamsville North 11/71, after going to Kenmore East for 10 and part of 11th grade. Laid low until senior year, then had much fun doing alot of dumb things. After presidency of "Root for Newt Club", and several low paying jobs, I was exiled to USAF for apprx 14 years. Decided to get degree while in Hawaii, in 1989, and tried to find a more disliked gov't entity than the military. Success! INS (immigration) was hiring and here I still am, though INS was swallowed by US Customs when the Dept of Homeland Security was created. After being Port Director in Ottawa for almost two years I went back down to the DC area to the National Targeting Center where I was a watch commander. Actually I have been very lucky with INS/DHS. Have traveled all over the globe with White House Press Corps during overseas Presidential trips. Last count was 24 countries from Viet Nam to Bulgaria and from China to Spain. I just recently got the Port Director job in Hartford CT and now live in Pla...Expand for more
