Bugs Barton Update

Wife: Bonnie

Kids: Steve, 19, 2d yr at Ga Tech; Diana, 17, HS junior

Home: Dunwoody, Georgia since 1996; Atlanta suburb, 2 miles off of topside I-285 if you're driving through -- come and see and stay!

Work: Last job as Project Manager with Battelle, logistics and NBC contracts; shop closed up with impending BRAC closure of Ft. McPherson (and Ft. Gillem!)

Army: Retired in 1995 as Dir of Public Works for Ft. Hamilton, Brooklyn, NY

Parents: still going strong in Mt. Pleasant, SC -- returning home from a Rhine River cruise today

Other activities: still working with Boy Scout troop where I was Scoutmaster for 5 years; service projects with Dunwoody UMC

F Troop nicknames remembered (corrections appreciated!): Lipper, Hut, Droop, C**o (in Spanish!), Lurch...working fast and that's enough for now

Random F Troop memory: watching the Clint Longley game in the company TV room on Thanksgiving Day, 1974 (no trip home for y'all!) as the only Redskin fan present: excitement, Staubach goes down injured, rookie in at Dallas QB, thrill, trash talk, impending triumph...last minute doom and disgrace, aarggh! I have no other memory of that TV room -- where it was, what it looked like, regular viewing parties, whatever.

(use any format you like, I needed to get something down to get it started)
