Reid ‘84

I am working for Oceaneering, just outside of Washington D.C., as
a Senior Mechanical Engineer. Our office is responsible for
the operation of search and recovery systems for SUPSALV. Our
office is also acting as the engineering and integration manager for
the Navy's new submarine rescue diving and recompression system (SRDRS).
This is the system that will replace the Navy's current submarine
rescue assets (DSRV's). I am the technical lead for the SRDRS
remotely operated vehicle that will mate with the submarine and rescue
crew. This summer I crewed on my fire departments's fireboat
providing escort service for OpSail 2000 when they came to Baltimore
and Annapolis. Since leaving Texas A&M I have primarily
worked on Navy manned submersible systems. For over 10 years
I was one of three Project Engineers responsible for the maintenance
and repair of the Navy's submersible's TURTLE and SEA CLIFF.
I also did a year's tour with Military Sealift COmmand-Pacific as
a Port Engineer for the USNS CATAWBA (T-ATF 168) while stationed in
the Arabian Gulf. I found out the surface fleet was not for
me and returned to submersibles as a Sr. Engineer working on the Adavnced
SEAL Delivery System (ASDS). For my 40th birthday I qualified
as an operator of a K250 submersible.

"After graduation, I went on to pursue a Master’s Degree
in the middle of a coral reef. There I worked on a variety of projects;
including population ecology of invertebrates to spawning sex-changing
fish. While working on my MSc, I got married to Dave Jones (1987 MARB).
After finishing our MSc, we moved to Miami. We were married for 5
years, then divorced. While in Miami, I worked at the University of
Miami/RSMAS in several labs. I worked and published several papers;
including one on spawning coral. In 1996 I meet my wonderful husband,
Ed Reiller. I also had a job as a permit specialist working as a biological
consultant for an engineering firm. We moved in 1999 to Ithaca, NY
where my husband was accepted to Cornell Vet School. This is the same
time I “retired” from marine biology. My husband graduated
DVM in 2003 and got a job in Buffalo, NY. I currently teach in the
education department of the Buffalo Zoo."

“After graduation, I spent 2 years with GE in Houston servicing
gas and steam turbines. Moved to St. Croix, USVI, in 1979 and worked
as gas turbine engineer at the Hess refinery for five years. A few
years more as Port Engineer for General Offshore there, and started
farming, too! Got married to my lovely wife, Karen, in STX and had
our first child. We moved to Arkansas in 1992 and live on a farm there.
We have two children now. I sort of thought they shut the school down
after what the class of '77 did, but if anyone wants, I'd like to
hear from ya'll.

"After Graduation in '71 I spent eight years sailing with various
companies until I was able to earn my Unlimited Masters License. In
1979 I moved to Baltimore, Maryland and became a partner in the Association
of Maryland Pilots. I have been a Chesapeake Bay Pilot for 23 years.
I have a son who is at "The Citadel", the military Academy of the
SOUTH and a daughter who will start her first year at Appalachian
State University in Boone, NC. I am probably the first in my class
to have Open Heart Surgery but would like to hear from anyone who
can take that title away from me. The best to all who read this."

"Howdy everyone!
What a busy couple of years have passed since graduation/commissioning
in the Navy.
After Graduation and a short time at the Navy's Surface Warfare School
in Newport, Rhode Island, I reported for duty as Gunnery Officer on
USS MOOSBRUGGER (DD-980), a destroyer home ported in Mayport, Florida.
Shortly thereafter, I deployed as part of a NATO multi-national battle
group to the North Atlantic. After returning from deployment, I reported
for duty on the USS MCINERNEY (FFG-8), a guided missile frigate also
stationed in Mayport where I served as Navigator. On MCINERNEY, I
deployed twice to the Eastern Pacific and Caribbean, in support of
counter narco-terrorism operations, and in support of UNITAS (a joint
naval operation between the navies of the U.S., Colombia, Chile, Ecuador,
and Peru). In June, I was promoted to Lieutenant and accepted orders
to teach navigation, seamanship and ship handling at the Navy's Surface
Warfare Officer's school back up here in Rhode Island."

Tommy and I are currently in Hawaii where he is a LTJG in the USN
Civil Engineer Corps and where I work as a dolphin trainer in an interactive
program. I also cross-train other animals. I have been working hard
to be a successful Club President and was able to have Don Powell
from College Station speak at the 1999 Muster. Tommy
and I enjoy year-round sailing and surfing with our daughter, Meagan.
She is a boisterous 4 year old that is the highlight of our everyday.
We expect to be moving to the mainland during summer 2000. I
look forward to seeing some of my former professors at upcoming marine
mammal conventions/symposiums.

Since
leaving Hawaii several years ago, we've been to the Gulf Coast,
Wisconsin, back to Texas, and are now living in Italy. I earned a
Professional Engineering license in civil engineering in Wisconsin and
a graduate degree in civil engineering at UT-Austin. Our daughter
Megan is now 10 and our son Sammy was born in May. Megan is very
active and this year started swimming against other kids from all over
Europe.

"After spending a few years working in the environmental remediation
industry in Houston TX, I decided to pursue graduate studies in chemistry.
To make a long story short...I finished the Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry
from the University of Texas in Austin where I concentrated on the
development of novel biosensing devices. I was then hired as a staff
scientist at a company in Santa Fe, New Mexico where we are currently
developing hand-held sensing devices for bio-warfare agents. Life
is good here in New Mexico although I miss the heck out of my home
state Texas. I am luckily married to a wonderful girl I met in Galveston
and have two cats and a dog. Although the job is great and we enjoy
living out in the high-desert country, my plans are to someday make
it back to Texas. Who knows...maybe I can get a job at TAMUG teaching
some chemistry courses and show those little whipper-snappers how
it's supposed to be done :} Peace."

After graduation in May 1996, I returned to Oregon where I got a job
as a Bridge Inspector for state and federal construction projects at
the Oregon Dept. of Transportation. In early 1998 I met my wife-to-be,
and our daughter, Jennifer, was born in July of 1999. We finally got
married in the summer of 2000. In January of 2001 I took a promotion
and became a Bridge Designer with ODOT. In November of 2004 I accepted
another promotion and am now a Bridge Load Rating Engineer.

Although I only spent one year at TAMUG, I still have fond memories
of the campus and the people I met there. After my freshman year (1977-78),
I spent two years working at a variety of jobs before returning to
school at Concordia University, NE to major in Secondary Education,
history and biology. I have taught in a number of schools and am now
Director of Guidance at Lincoln Lutheran Jr/Sr High School in Lincoln,
NE. I have not been back to Galveston for almost 18 years, but hope
to do so in the near future and show my family the area.

"Working as a Certified Medical Dosimetrist at MD Anderson Cancer
Center, the number one cancer hospital in the nation. Medical Dosimetrists
work with the Radiation Oncologist to develop the best treatment plan
for cancer patients getting external beam radiation. Through the use
of treatment planning software, calculations, and knowledge of tissue
tolerances, a Medical Dosimetrist calculates how to get the prescribed
dose of radiation to the tumor while keeping the normal tissues as
low as possible. Sean and I got married on May 27, 2000 and we are
expecting our first child, a girl, this December."
