Since graduation I lived and/or surfed in Mixico, Hawaii, Florida,
Oregon, Virginia, Japan, Bali, and California. Now I'm back in Galveston,
working, raising kids, playing in a band (The ReliX) and riding a
longboard! My daughter is about to graduate from HS and attend A&M
(main campus) as an Honors Student. I'm building my own outrigger
sailing canoe in hopes of circumnavigating Galveston this summer!
Life is good!!

" I am about to complete my assignment aboard NOAA's research vessel
RONALD H. BROWN, out of Charleston, SC. While here, I was promoted
to Lieutenant (jg). I have been aboard for more than two years now,
and have been extended until June (2004). When I leave, I will transfer
to the hydrographic office in Norfolk, VA, where I will serve as liaison
for NOAA's East Coast hydrographic ships. These vessels are responsible
for surveying our harbors and coastal areas, and getting this information
onto both electronic and paper nautical charts. My specific job there
is to help those ships solve any problems they have with the software
used to acquire this hydrographic data. I should be in Norfolk for
approximately three years while on this assignment.

"I am currently working as a Biochemistry Analyst at one of the country's
leading biotechnology companies, Amgen, Inc. I am also pursuing my
art interests (creating and selling drawings, prints, jewelry). I
am teaching art to at-risk children. I will be returning to school
to earn a master's in Education. I will then use my knowledge of art
and marine sciences to teach children. By combining hands-on art projects
with science lessons, children can comprehend and retain information
quicker and easier."

“I enjoy living in Florida with my husband of 5 years. We both
work half the year as Merchant Mariners. I have my Unlimited Master’s
License and just recently sailed on it. My company was looking forward
to hosting the Sea Aggies this summer during a Port Canaveral port
visit. Too bad the ship didn’t make it though. Hello to all
my wayward Texas “Crasher” classmates!”

7/7/00
When I entered as a freshman in 1993, I thought that I would graduate
with a Marine Science degree, but I decided that Galveston was just
a little too small. After I transferred from TAMUG in 1994, I found
my way to the main campus in College Station where I went through
a variety of majors before settling on one, Wildlife & Fisheries.
I graduated a summer late, August ’97, and found myself in Dallas.
About 7 months after graduation, I was offered a job with the Dallas
Zoo Education Department as a Zoo Keeper. I was responsible for about
35 different animals: owls, armadillos, ferrets, a kinkajou, a 12
foot boa, 5 other snakes, and some invertebrates. There was only one
problem; it was permanently temporary with no benefits. I stayed for
15 months. I am now a receptionist for an international relocation
firm. I will eventually go back to graduate school and see where that
leads me, but for now things couldn’t be any better.

At graduation I was commissioned an officer in the US Navy. I then
went on to Nuclear Power School in Orlando, FL and Nuclear Prototype
in Ballston Spa, NY. Then after completing Submarine School in Groton,
CT, I was assigned to the USS Hampton (SSN 767), a Los Angeles-class,
nuclear-powered fast attack submarine, homeported in Norfolk, VA.Since
joining the Hampton, I have made one 6 month Mediterranean deployment,
where we visited 7 different countries including Israel and Bahrain.
I received my gold "dolphins" indicating my qualification
in submarines about 6 months ago and am currently serving as the Damage
Control Assistant within the Engineering Department.

After working with Fugro for two and a half years I moved to
Colorado for a brief period of time. Came back to Houston and am now
working with Tetra Tech NUS, Inc. here in Houston. TtNUS is an
environmental engineering and consulting company, and I am busy
working five projects at this time! I guess the experience of
motherhood while still attending school gave me a one-up on the whole
multi-takings thing! Kristopher is (can you believe it..) 8 years old
now and is very busy with soccer and school. He is going to be
starting little league in the summer!

Living in the northwest is great. Oregon is beautiful, the summers
are spectacular, and the winters rainy and cool. I have been here now
for 4 years. I spent 3 years working for an environmental/engineering
firm, testing environmental samples for hydrocarbons. Not too
exciting, but I learned a lot, and met a couple of really great
people! I now work for the University of Oregon where I am a full time
preparatory in the biology teaching labs. It’s a great job! I get
summers off. I get to interact with students and professors alike. The
people here are extremely nice and down to earth. It has been a good
and rewarding career move. I enjoy being in the university setting,
and perhaps will look to getting a grad degree while I am here. All of
my family is in Texas, so I still visit home once a year. I do miss
Galveston and Austin, and friends and family, without a doubt!

We’re so glad to no longer be living in an apartment! I’ve

of three, with our beagle, Daisy. There are no children in the near
future, but they’re always an option!”
Neil McManus ‘79

“Had an early career of excellent experience, witnessed extreme
change within the industry, had some upheaval, disappointments, watching
the industry become no fun, riddled with rubber stamp qualification
certification, loss of ships in the merchant marine, and wages decreasing.
Just look at the MMP contract with Matson Navigation Company.
Started well, shipped off the board, Lykes Brothers, Moore-McCormack,
PFE, after getting my A book with MMP was permanent chief mate with
APL. Then after 3 years with APL and many excellent work references,
while on a leave of absence to attend graduate school, the newly appointed
Marine Superintendent at APL in 1991 transferred me to a ship that
was being sold to another company without asking or informing me.
I found out from the self-serving union representative at that time.
Fought it myself and lost. Then tried to get on with Matson, but a
certain individual captain in the fleet worked to make sure I was
not hired. I finally got on as a select chief mate a few years later,
but then a certain captain wrote a totally false evaluation and talked
with the existing superintendent to follow up on his back stabbing
career character assassination action to make sure it stuck. So as
the available jobs shrink, it becomes more of who you know than what
your job skills are. I am disappointed with the overall aspect that
the merit-based system is being replaced by nepotism-based advancement.
So I am shipping off the board, and hoping to get on with Horizon
Lines. These days I do not recommend this career direction to any
young students. It is a great education, and perhaps a couple of years
to work, but there are better conditions and paying careers available
out there."
