It has been over 15 years since I've heard from Dan so I have
reluctantly moved him to the LOST listings. If anyone has an
update on him I would appreciated hearing from you and will gladly move
him back to the active list, if appropriate -

From 50th Reunion Book, 2002 - In 1953, after graduation from Lehigh and a short stint as an engineer with RCA's Harrison, New Jersey Division, I accepted a commission as a USAF 2nd Lieutenant with the Technical Intelligence Command at Wright Patterson AFB. For the following 3 1/2 years I worked at analyzing the capabilities of the USSR aircraft industry.
NJIT degree: MS in Management Engineering, 1956 and Columbia University degree: NIS in Business Administration, 1959.
After the tour in the USAF, my professional career can best be characterized as broad and varied, but mainly focused on achieving a top management position with a small to medium-sized manufacturing firm. Working in industries as diverse as structural steel fabrication and intimate apparel manufacture, I progressed through a number of Operations functions from industrial engineer to Vice President of Operations. In 1979, I was appointed President of Metem Corporation, an exotic machining company; and in 1987, became President of Kemp Industries, a manufacturer of hydraulic pumps, motors and valves for the aircraft and defense industries. From 1990 until the present, I have been a management consultant to senior executives of manufacturing and logistics companies.
Thirty-six years ago, I was fortunate to meet my lovely wife, Claire. We have 2 children: our daughter, Melissa, who's married to Mike Guarino, lives in Summit, NJ and has 2 sons, Eric and Cameron, and our son, David, who's married to Cheryl Perera, lives in Richmond, VA and has 3 sons, Alex, Zach and Ryan. Claire and I, having lived previously in New Jersey, California and Connecticut, now reside in the same house in Mendham, NJ for 26 years. |
