Forty Five years!
After WL I attended the new "Northern Virginia Community College" housed in an old warehouse at Bailey's Crossroads and received an AAS in "Data Processing". I then started my career in Civil Service. I transferred to "The University of Maryland" where I received my BS in Business Administration. I later attended the "American University" graduate program in Management Information Systems. I transferred my credits to the new "Marymount University" where I received my MBA.

I also met and married Norma Jane Triggs from Martinsburg WV. After four years of marriage we adopted a 4 year old boy from the Philippines. Scott Matthew Courtney added a great deal to our lives (ie. love, joy, excitement, headaches, etc.).

He is married and we have two beautiful grandsons. They are living in Ann Arbor, MI.

I was a civil servant for 16 years working my way up from a computer operator to a programmer to a systems analyst. I am now a contractor working in Information Technology.

This year we moved from the Northern Va. area to Hedgesville WV, a little northwest of Martinsburg.

I am coming to the reunion.
