Class Notes...

Craig Trump is down in Houston Texas and working for Compaq Computer Corp. where he's been for about 8 years. He's now working on Integrated Enterprise Business Applications. After leaving the Coast Guard, he moved out to Colorado and worked on Space Shuttle systems for Martin Marietta, then got into Oil & Gas Investment systems until the bottom fell out of the oil market. Then he moved to Texas and worked for several large financial companies until the job at Compaq came along. He's even started his own computer consulting company on the side.


Rick Houck is the CG Fellow at the Center for Naval Analysis in Crystal City.He's finishing up the CG Future Directions Study and helping to draft CG Vision 2020. Rick's wife Lani just got her PhD in counseling from George Mason University...she's in private practice and has several consulting jobs with a wide variety of organizations/corporations. Their daughter Whitney is a high school senior and will be a swabbette (?) at CGA this summer. Way to go, Whitney! (Editorial comment: I knew we were getting older when the entering class was born after we graduated...now we've got 2nd generation 75'er's at CGA!). Rick's E-Mail is HOUCKR@cna.org

George Capacci says all is well on the last frontier (Alaska). After bouncing about for a bit in a number of miscellaneous paying jobs,he's taken a job in the Alaska Marine Highway System as Assistant Port Captain in Juneau. He's earned a Master's license (Oceans, Any Gross Tons) in Dec 96, a major prerequisite to the job with AMHS. Kathy is also working full time as a Registered Nurse at a clinic in Juneau. Their four children are doing well: Christina, Natalie, Anna & Andrew. George says all the traveling around and all the different schools they've attended hasn't hurt them. Kathy & George are glad to be settled down and setting deep roots in Alaska. George's work numbers are (907) 465-8802, FAX (07) 465-2474, e-mail: george_capacci@dot.state.ak.us

Paul Ellner...sits in California at a desk dreaming about eating box lunches at FL210! He sees Jim Hanks, Chip Sharpe, Mike Dobravic, John Barrett & Dale Gabel on CG Island, Alameda often. Paul & Marianne have 4 kids, Chris (age 9 1/2 and a budding tennis & soccer star), Nicky (age 6 & a "teetering violinist) and adopted siblings Erin (age 2 1/2 and "Daddy's Girl") & Jesse (age 1 1/2 and the youngest of the kids). Gotta give them credit! Paul is getting adjusted (though not used to) flying a desk and Marianne sounds like she is awfully busy with 4 kids. Paul can be contacted at (believe it or not) ething@bigfoot.com.
