William's Story
After graduating from Stranahan I spent quite a few years in the Marine Corps before graduating from Chapman University and joining Federal Civil Service and then signing on with the Naval Investigative Service, now it's called NCIS. During that time I worked in resident offices in Charleston, SC, Los Angeles, and then Norfolk/Virginia Beach. I was later the NIS rep to State Dept's Office of Foreign Mission and later to CIA. After 12 years with them I switched agencies and worked in Dept of Defense Special Programs for 9 years before leaving them in 1994 to work for 3 years as an independent contractor to both Dept of Commerce and the FBI. But in 1997 I went back into Federal Civil Service with the On-Site Inspection Agency at Dulles Airport in Wash DC. I'm still with them today, except now the agency has merged with a couple others and it's now called the Defense Threat Reduction Agency. My job is mostly working international treaties, so I spend a lot of time in both eastern and western Russia. After a while travelling gets old and anymore unless my wife is with me I really don't enjoy it very much. (And I cannot take her with me to Russia.)
I've been married to Deborah since 1981 and we live in an over-sized, over-priced, never-be-able-to-sell home in Bristow, VA, about 30 miles outside Washington DC...Expand for more
. Deb is the CEO of For Children's Sake of Virginia, a therapeutic foster care facility in Northern Virginia. She's been with them since they began about 1995 and the Board elected her CEO almost a year ago; she had been the Executive Director and the Clinical Director. (So if anyone wants a foster child . . . let us know.)
I'm really not interested in retiring. I run the Division that inspects and certifies all equipment brought into the US by foreign (treaty sponsored) inspectors. So that means me or one of my folks deploy a couple times each week to meet a variety of quasi-diplomats arriving to inspect something having to do with Arms Control or generally in that arena. We also deploy with the US teams doing (treaty sponsored) inspections such as those we made to Iraq, North Korea, and of course, Russia. (It's cold over there !)
I attended the 25th reunion, but have not been back since. Time is so precious and Deb and I try our best to share each other's trips. I take her on business trips with me to Vienna, Stockholm, The Hague, Singapore, and great places like that. She takes me on her business trips to Detroit, Baltimore, Houston and other places like that. Boooooo Hssssssssss !! But as long as we're together - it's a great place to be.
Well I've already said too much so I'll close for now.
