Russell's Story
Life
I attended St. Matthias School in Ridgewood, NY from 1949 to 1957. After graduation, I attended Cathedral Prep Seminary for two years. Following a strong suggestion from the faculty that I might not be cut out for the priesthood, I transferred to Most Holy Trinity HS and graduated in 1961.
I joined the Navy after graduation and eventually served a 20-year career, retiring as a Chief Petty Officer in 1981. My Navy career took me to many parts of the globe, Europe, Japan, the Philippines, and two in-country tours in Vietnam from 1966-67 ...Expand for more
and part of 1970.
While in the Navy, I earned a BA in Human Resources Management and a Masters Degree in Public Administration. Those degrees enabled me to get a position with the federal civil service as a Management Analyst and later as a Contract Administrator. In 2005, I retired as a GS-12.
I now live in Norfolk, VA with my S/O, Catherine. We spend our time traveling whenever we can. Our plans are to spend 3-4 months each year in Italy.
Unfortunately, Catherine passed away in 2008. Since then, I have contributed our travel tradition.
