We moved from Apex, NC to Pittsboro, NC (about 15 miles south of Chapel Hill) in July of 2007.  We now live in a beautiful new golf course community (Chapel Ridge) so it will be easier for me to feed my golf addiction!

 

I am still with SAS (since 1999) and am currently a Technical Consulting Manager responsible for a team of highly skilled technical consultants who provide professional services to SAS’ customers all around the country.  I have also started a home based part time tax preparation and tax planning business assisting small businesses and individuals in need of tax related services (www.TriangleTaxMobile.com).  I’m serving as a member of the Chapel Ridge Budget and Finance Advisory Committee and the Golf Club at Chapel Ridge Member Advisory Board.  I’m also on the Board of Directors of the West Point Society of the Research Triangle and am planning to start helping out as a Military Academy Liaison Officer guiding high school students through the West Point admissions process.  I coach my daughter Ally’s softball team in the spring. 

 

For those of you who don’t know my wife, Dori is originally from Roebling, NJ.  She graduated from Liberty University in 1993 (ROTC) and served about five years as a MI officer.  We met while we were both stationed at Fort Belvoir, VA.  Dori currently works for a NC State Supreme Court commission. She just bought a brand new Harley-Davidson motorcycle and is quite preoccupied with learning to ride.  Dori plays indoor soccer and loves the Pittsburgh Steelers.  She also runs, scrapbooks, paints, and enjoys photography.  During the spring, she helps me coach Ally’s softball team and spends the rest of her free time carting both girls from here to there and commuting to Raleigh. 

 

Abby is 14 and starting 9^th grade this year at the Woods Charter High School.  She starred as Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz at her middle school last year and plans top be a part of the drama club at her new high school.  Abby enjoys riding horses, anime and manga cartooning, singing, playing the guitar and learning about the Japanese culture.  She is a volunteer with Heads Up! Equine Therapy in Pittsboro and also with Chatham County Teen Court.  She hopes to go into a nursing program after high school.

 

Ally is 11 and going into the 7^th grade at Horton Middle School.  She is a competitive soccer player and plays on a county team and hopes to make the school teams for softball and soccer this year.  She is also a volunteer for Chatham County Teen Court and spent much of her summer babysitting for other families in the neighborhood.  Right now, Ally’s career plans include moving to Miami and working for Horatio Cane from CSI Miami as a crime scene investigator.    

 

Rounding out the family are our two miniature dachshund puppies – Stretch (male) and Slinky (female). 

Susan, Nicole, and I moved from the DC area to Atlanta, Georgia about three years ago and love it.  Atlanta is pretty much Yankee-land now, as there are very few Atlanta natives that we've run into.  Last year I became a partner at my law firm, Hunton & Williams.  It's an international law firm, and I've been practicing intellectual property prosecution and litigation here.  I've been staying busy, but was lucky enough to get to see Dwight and Heather last week when I was up in DC for a deposition.
 
I'm attaching a picture of my family from our vacation last month to Seaside, Florida. 
 
Hope everyone is doing well, and hope to see you at the 20th year reunion!

We have just recently relocated to Houston where I have taken a position as plant manager at an oilfield services company called Cameron International.  Our daughter Kelly is 11 and in sixth grade and our son JT is 9 and in 3rd grade.  Jessie stays busy volunteering at their schools and training for triathlons - I just keep getting older, fatter and balder - sign of the times I suppose.

Over the last three years, I have worked in three different MOS's.  The infantry wasn't working out for me, so I did my best to get out.  In 2005, I was shanghai'd into an assignment as an FA49 (Operations Research Systems Analysis).  I got a 30 day notice to PCS from Montana where I was working an AC/RC assignment and making good progress on a master's degree at Montana State.  Anyway, I was sent to White Sands Missile Range with the FA49 course at Ft Lee enroute.  As I was executing that move, I was CFD'd as an FA40 (Space Operations) which is what I had been lobbying for for the previous few years.  However, I couldn't change my assignment because I had to get a TS clearance before I could even go to the FA 40 course.  Anyway, I worked as an analyst on the Land Warrior Program for 8 months at White Sands before going to the Space Ops Course and then on to Korea.  I bought a Harley in 2001 and took 30 days off before the Space Ops Course to ride around the country.  I toured 41 states and rode 10,000 miles.  It was an incredible experience.  I highly recommend it as a great way to see the country and meet all kinds of people.  I have been in Korea for about a year as part of the 2nd Infantry Division Space Support Element.  My first boss and I were the first Space Operations Officers in 2ID, so we had to build it from the ground up.  It is still a work in progress, but it is moving along.  Paul Ritkouski works across the hall from me in the Division Plans Section.  When he arrived, it was the first time that I had seen him since graduation.  This was my first overseas assignment, so I am taking advantage of all of the travel opportunities.  I have also found an online master's degree program which I have just about finished.  Sadly, I had to abandon all the work I had done in Montana because I couldn't find anything in Mechanical Engineering online.  My current degree plan is in Space Studies.  Well, that's about the short and skinny of it.  The remainder of my adventures are really not for public consumption.

Hope all is well,
Ed

A little info about Tyree and I.  We are currently here in the beautiful paradise of Hawaii.  This is our second time to be stationed here (previous assignment 1997-2001), and all we wanted was a warmer climate than Ft. Drum.  We just left Ft. Drum after being there just over 3 years, and the -20 to -40 degrees and 6 months of winter are not our cup of tea.  We have no young'ns and love to go surfing, hiking, biking, and running.  I have been told that with my new assignment, the pace should be more conducive to family time, and Ty and I are planning on using this time to visit different countries throughout the pacific.  My AKO e-mail is the best way to contact me.  lewis.henry@us.army.mil  ALOHA
