Hard to believe that we’re the ones carrying the 50 Year banner…how did that happen?

A quick update for the Moses Family starts in 2012 with the arrival of first grandchild Mack Moses in February, daughter Kathryn’s marriage to Kevin in November, and our 40^th Anniversary in December.  We try to share Mack with his parents Patrick and Meredith as often as possible in NY and at beach locations along the I-95 corridor.  Of course Mack is the cutest and smartest kid to his grandparents and like all “Macs” most popular at the Apple store.  Son, Patrick has transitioned to VP of Current TV Productions for Original Media…credits – Swamp People (with over 4.0 mil. viewers), Ink Master, BBQ Pitmasters.  Kathryn and Kevin reside closer in VA. Kathryn finished her law degree and handles commercial litigation for McGuireWoods in Tyson’s Corner…no new arrivals known to be on the horizon, yet.

We continue to help keep Obama’s unemployment numbers lower; Joyce Mary returned to teach for another year in an Alternative High School, Fairfax Co. Public Schools.  My involvement with aviation passed the 21 year mark with RTCA.  Aviation issues in the forefront in the last year were the 787 lithium battery events, Unmanned Aircraft flying “everywhere” and safety issues for using tablets, cell phones and PCs while airborne.  There is never a dull moment in aviation but future planning is now extending beyond my seeing the results. A bummer when I think of retirement someday.

A re-cap of the pass 50 years includes graduation from Purdue in 1967, USAF pilot training – Big Springs TX; Clark AB, Philippines;  Viet Nam, Kansas City, MO; Scott AFB, IL; Yokato, AB, Japan; Redlands, CA and Fairfax, VA.

A special “Thanks” to everyone involved in the logistics/planning of all previous reunions and especially # 50!  Looking forward to seeing you soon…and for anyone still on the fence – Come-on Down!!

Harold, Joyce Mary, Patrick & Kathryn

I'm involved in aviation...and have been for the past 40 years. I retired from the USAF in 1992, where I was a flight inspection pilot performing missions that included installing and inspecting navigation aids and Air Traffic Control facilities. Since retirement, I've worked for RTCA involved in developing performance standards for satellite navigation, for a new technology called ADS-B and for Portable Electronic Devices...whether you may safely use your cell phone when airborne...all pretty technical stuff for an non-engineer. A committee I direct recently won the Collier Trophy...aviation's most prestigious award.

In 1972 I married a great girl from Chicago...Joyce Mary is an 8th grade teacher in the Fairfax Public Schools.

We have two children, both graduates of UVA. Patrick is a producer in NYC and Kathryn is in Law School. Patrick's credits include - Bravo's 100 Scariest Movie Moments and the initial season of The Real Housewives of Orange County...currently working "Project Extreme" for the DIY Network. Kathryn gave up living in Mission Bay / Pacific Beach in San Diego while teaching math at Poway High School and coaching lacrosse...for Law School...how could she...?!

I continue to try to lower my golf handicap, recently hiked and camped in the Grand Canyon and for the past two years have enjoyed the beaches of Aruba...one Happy Island. In August, I'll be traveling to Australia and to the Lake Taupo area in New Zealand.

I'm looking forward to #45 and the chance to share WL memories...also will be visiting with my Mom who's back home after a brief stay at Heritage while recovering from elbow surgery...she'll be 95 in October.

Hope to see you soon...
