Dear Jaspers,
The jasper jottings email list has 998 subscribers to the full edition and 5 to the "slim pointer" message by my count. We have some Jaspers "break" (i.e., mailbox not there; over quota; or such). If it is broken, then I move the entry to "Broken" awaiting instructions. If I have an address, I send a post card. If a phone number, I call. If I can connect you with some other Jasper, I email them. Sadly, that's all I can do. If it's temporary, like over quota, I just wait a fews weeks for it to clear, if it doesn't I try to contact as above. Sadly despite all my best efforts people get disconnected. So if you don't see Jottings, it isn't because it is not going out. I keep stuffing in the "sausage", so you should see "pigs" on your side.

In recent weeks, people have asked for my "stuff". In order to help without making work for myself, I have created some "autoresponders". (Basically, if you send in a message with the correct information, the Microsoft Outlook -- know affectionately to its users as "Look Out!" -- will reply with a predetermined message. So if you want this material, then you have to address a separate message to "reinkefj@alum.manahattan.edu" with an appropriate subject line.
For my list of Jasper Headhunters,
put "Jasper Jottings Jasper
Headhunters" in the subject line exactly (no quotes). [Jasper
Headhunters who would like to be listed merely have to let me know that they
would be willing to hear from our fellow alums.]
For my list of favorite headhunters,
put
"Jasper Jottings Other Headhunters" (no quotes).
For my list of favorite headhunters,
put "Jasper Jottings Networking
Profile Sample".
For my list of favorite headhunters,
put "Jasper Jottings My Job
Search Booklist".
It's a long string so that it can't accidentally be misconstrued by the software. If you get it exactly right, it will reply back by return mail asap. If you don't, or if Look Out balks, you'll have to wait till I see it and respond.
I figure that it might be useful to my fellow alums, and I can then double the price of Jasper Jottings! (See us engineers never were much good at business "stuff". At these rates, I get rich in half the time. [[Yeah, it's still ZERO, but it's late on Sunday night and what did you expect Jay Leno?]])

ALL BOILER PLATE is at the end.

This is a little long but I was moved by it.

Act of kindness speaks volumes about football’s spirit
By JAMES WALKER - Thursday quarterback
In an age when arrogance and "Sharpie" pens steal the national spotlight, it is often the smallest, most unnoticed acts of kindness that remind us that football is merely a game.
The story, which is destined to become legendary in Southern Ohio circles, starts in Waverly.
Northwest football coach Dave Frantz and Tigers’ coach Derek DeWitt shared a conversation the week leading up to the game.
But the two coaches weren’t discussing strategy, instead they were talking about a mentally-handicapped Northwest player by the name of Jake Porter.
Porter, a senior, has a disorder called "Chromosomal Fragile-X," which is the most common cause of inherited mental retardation.
Porter still shows up on time for practice every day and dresses in full gear during games, but he has yet to take an official snap in a football game.
Frantz wanted that streak to end last Friday.
"I told them (Waverly) ahead of time that he can’t take a hit or anything," Frantz said. "If the game’s not at stake on the last play, I wanted him to come in and take a knee."
Yet a week after their conversation, with Waverly leading 42-0 with five seconds remaining, coach DeWitt offered Frantz one better.
"During the timeout, he met me in the middle of the field and said ‘We’ll let him score,’" Frantz explained. "(Initially) I said ‘Nah.’ Then we talked about it with the referees, and they said ‘Hey coach, we understand."
What soon followed will forever go down in Southern Ohio football lore.
At Waverly’s 49-yard line, Porter entered the game at tailback, had his play, "84-iso," called in the huddle, and when the ball was snapped all 21 players parted ways.
Porter was somewhat surprised when he slowly walked through the huge hole. He initially turned back around to the original line of scrimmage, but everyone on the field -- including defensive players from Waverly -- pointed and guided Porter toward the Tigers’ end zone.
"When we practiced it, he was supposed to down it, so I think he was a little confused at first," Northwest tailback Zach Smith said. "But once he figured it out, he took off."
The 49-yard trek to glory took about 10-12 seconds in all, and was culminated by players from both sidelines cheering and running step-for-step with Porter to the end zone.
Tears flowed from the bleachers well into the night, and the life of one young man was changed forever.
"At Waverly, we didn’t do anything special. We were just happy to be a part of that," a humbled DeWitt said. "That young man was just excited to get the ball. Our guys didn’t care about the shutout, those stats went out the window.
"When you’re involved in a moment like that, you want to make sure you end the game with class, decency and respect."
Those who play football on the highest levels should take notice.
No pen that Terrell Owens ever pulls out of his sock could write a scene more touching than this.
James Walker covers high school football for The Herald-Dispatch. His e-mail address is jwalker@herald-dispatch.com.
=== <end quote> ===
Now, I don’t think that a sport's victory should ever been be "given away". Ala what the the CT women did to allow Seles to set a scoring record. That was "wrong". This is different. But in this "Rudy like" moment, (referring to the Notre Dame football movie, that I recommend to ever job seeker), these people demonstrated that that person's commitment to his team was respected. Respect for life, no matter if it's damaged, is worthy. Note, that you don't do these things for the person receiving the benefits feelings! You do it for your own selfish feelings of doing something for someone else who can't repay it. I believe that these gifts come back to us when we least expect it and in vastly larger quantities than we could ever imagine. I can't prove it, but, I believe it. Too much anecdotal evidence confirms it to me.
It's touched me.
Why can't I? Why can't you?
Reflect well on our alma mater, this week, every week, in any and every way possible, large or small. God bless.

John J. Barrett Jr.
To say that John Barrett knows his clients' business is an understatement. Indeed, he has engaged in that business himself.
Both a civil engineer and an attorney, Barrett has actively practiced in both fields over the last 30 years. This dual practice has served him well in many distinguished positions: Schenectady County Commissioner of Engineering and Public Works, house counsel for Barry, Bette & Led Duke, both counsel and engineer for Callanan Industries and Spancrete Northeast. Currently, he is a licensed professional engineer in both New York State and New Jersey.
As one might expect, construction law forms the focus of
Mr. Barrett's legal services:
Contract law
Government operations
Preventive law
Troubled project analysis
Appropriate risk distribution
Alternative resolution development
Mr. Barrett's breadth of experience, public and private, often works to his clients' advantage. "My knowledge of all sides enables me to be more flexible in resolving cases. When you understand the industry, you're much better able to prevent difficulties and develop alternative solutions."
Because clients' needs often span several areas of law, Mr. Barrett makes the most of Gordon, Siegel's varied concentrations. "With each case, I am confident that my colleagues and I can use our combined experience to handle all the complexities that may arise."
In private practice since 1995, Mr. Barrett received his bachelor's of civil engineering from Manhattan College, and his J.D. from St. John's University School of Law.

[JR: Congrats and thanks for including your extended "family" in the good news. I assume that Lynda is 1990 also. Please tell her, we'd love to hear from her. Maybe she'll dish on setting you up! Maybe I was desperate, or my mom guilted me into it, when I was young, I'd always go on "blind" and "pity" dates (You know your mom and so and so's mom get together and decide you two should have a date. If we were Jewish, it'd be like a "shiddock".) I hate to tell you how many "hotties" they lined up. At the time, I had my head you know where and couldn't wait to "find" my own dates. (Dumb, huh?) Never understood why? But, I used to go to the dances and have my friends ask if I'd mind if the asked "so and so" to go out. Mind? I was glad to be rid of the "millstone". PS, I did "find" my soul mate at my cousin's wedding. Guess that doesn't qualify as a "find". But, it worked for 31+. Hope you have the same fortune. In thirty years, tell me how it's working out. I'll be the jj collector with the diaper and dribbling. (All thought that what some say I do now!) Best wishes.]
Your assistance is requested in finding these. Please don’t assume that I will “catch” it via an automated search. Sometimes the data just doesn’t makes it’s way in.

I know it sounds like it, but I don't engage in the upstate-downstate stuff. Maybe it's because I'm not a native of NYS. I happen to live in Ithaca, which is another dimension entirely. I have the temperament to live rurally, but not the pocketbook it would take to visit my friends and family often enough to make up for my isolation from them. I love to visit NYC. My husband went to Manhattan College and NYU, and we visit his friends there a couple of times a year. It's like a crazy kind of urban camping to stay with his friend in her one-room Chelsea apartment in a fifth-floor walkup and getting in as much shopping, eating, and drinking as a weekend will allow. We did all our Christmas shopping south of Canal Street last year, just to boost that part of the city's post-9/11 economy. We also ate every meal and drank every drink in that same part of town. Every time we leave the city, our last stop is a pilgrimage to get a dozen bagels from H&H, and to buy as much food as we can carry from Zabar's.

GOP wins big in 9th Judicial District
By Larry Fisher-Hertz
Poughkeepsie Journal
Dutchess County Family Court Judge James Brands was one of five Republicans to win seats for state Supreme Court in the Ninth Judicial District Tuesday.
Unofficial results said Brands will be joined on the court by Westchester County judges Janet DiFiore, Thomas A. Dickerson, Mary H. Smith and Linda S. Jamieson.
The five Democrats running for the seats were attorney Gerald E. Loehr, Harrison Town Justice Marc J. Lust, Westchester County Family Court Judge Bruce E. Tolbert, former Westchester Assistant District Attorney Susan Cacace-Dibbini and Yorktown Justice Jeffrey Cohen. Also vying for seats on the court were Right To Life candidates Mary N. Clark and Robert D. Brady and Working Families candidate Elizabeth B. Emmons.
A Staatsburg resident, Brands is a graduate of Hartwick College and Albany Law School. He was elected a Family Court judge in 1993 and was named acting Supreme Court judge in 1996.
DiFiore, 47, has been a county court judge since 1998. Dickerson, 58, was elected to county court in 2000 after serving two years as a Family Court judge. Smith, 57, received her law degree from Hofstra in 1977 and has been a county court judge since 1994. Jamieson has been a Family Court judge since 1996. She received her law degree from Pace Law School in 1979.
Loehr, 59, received a bachelor's degree from Manhattan College in 1965 and graduated from Fordham University Law School.

Management
CEO Full Count: EMC's Joseph Tucci
Lisa DiCarlo, 10.21.02, 12:00 PM ET
Ball One
Computer makers start selling cheaper mid-range storage systems, where Hopkinton, Mass.-based storage giant EMC (nyse: EMC - news - people ) has little presence. Company responds by buying Data General in August 1999, primarily for Clariion, a less expensive line of storage hardware. EMC Chief Operating Officer Joseph Tucci steers hundreds of millions of R&D dollars toward software, which has higher gross margins than hardware, and buys several small software companies.
Ball Two
After spending one year as president and COO, Tucci is promoted to chief executive in January 2001. That month, the company announced a 50% surge in fourth-quarter net income. Things were going so well that EMC said it would hit $12 billion in sales in 2001, up from $8.9 billion the year before.
Strike One
In April 2001, EMC issues its first profit warning in six years, in what analysts describe as "a huge miss." Tucci blames a sluggish economy and says EMC's revenue will still grow by more than 20% in 2001 to $10.6 billion. Ultimately, 2001 revenue comes in at $7 billion. Apparently unable to read the market, Tucci in February 2002 says that he expects storage prices to stabilize and that 2002 will be a better year than 2001. Through the first nine months of 2002, EMC loses more than $150 million on sales of $3.9 billion. Tucci says the company will not return to profitability in 2002.
Ball Three
In October 2001 EMC strikes a deal with PC leader Dell Computer (nasdaq:
DELL - news - people ). Dell will now sell EMC products, including EMC's pricey flagship Symmetrix system. The deal opens up a sales channel previously closed to EMC, and Dell now represents a sizable chunk of Clariion revenue.
Strike Two
With Tucci at the helm, EMC is slow to respond to price competition from IBM (nyse: IBM - news - people ) and Hitachi Data Systems, a unit of Hitachi (nyse: HIT - news - people ). Market share slips. Chairman and former CEO Mike Ruettgers is quoted in March 2002 giving Tucci low grades in stock price performance and fiscal management. Rumors swirl that there is tension between the two, which the company denies. With its healthy balance sheet and stock price at a five-year low of about $4.17, there is speculation that EMC could be a takeover target.
The Next Pitch
2003 will be a transition year for the company. Analysts believe that its efforts to morph to a hardware/software/consulting company won't be fully realized until 2005. Merrill Lynch says that even at this depressed level, EMC shares aren't interesting. Perhaps that's why EMC is spending some of its $5.8 billion cash pile to buy back some 300 million shares. Although Tucci can't be held responsible for all of EMC's woes, someone's got to take the blame, and he could end up the fall guy.

REMEMBERING JOE DiMAGGIO
Farrell man gave up whirlpool for DiMaggio, then got $20 from him
By Jeff Greenburg
Herald Sports Editor
WHEN IT COMES to the realm of athletics, Felix "Blues" Bonadio of Farrell has had a life more memorable than most.
He was an All-Mercer County football selection in 1938 at Farrell High School and went on to star at Manhattan College in New York City. His stellar athletic career culminated with an induction into the Mercer County Hall of Fame in 1981, but the thrills didn't stop there.
How many of us can say we were fortunate enough -- or unfortunate enough, depending on your perspective -- to have shared a birthday party with Pittsburgh Steelers' radio analyst Myron Cope? Bonadio did just that at this year's Mercer County Hall of Fame banquet, celebrating No. 80 while Cope was hitting the Big 7-0.
But despite all the accolades he's received on and off the field, it was a chance meeting with the Yankee Clipper, Joe DiMaggio, more than a half-century ago that was, perhaps, the biggest thrill of Bonadio's life.
That all-too-brief meeting with DiMaggio, who died this week, is something Bonadio will never forget.
The story begins in the early 1940s at Manhattan College where, as luck would have it, the school's athletic trainer, Gus Monch, also happened to be the team physician for the New York Yankees.
One Saturday, Bonadio, who was eventually drafted by the NFL's Detroit Lions but was called to serve his country in World War II instead, headed over to the training room for a scheduled appointment to treat a bad ankle with a whirlpool.
"I would go to the Athletic Building on campus and Gus would give me a treatment," recalled Bonadio. "One day I was having the treatment and Gus comes in and says, 'Hey Bonadio, how about getting out of the whirlplool? I have a man here I want to treat.' "
Now at that moment, Bonadio said he was killing time during the whirlpool session that normally lasted one hour, 45 minutes by studying, and had a book in his hand.
"I said, 'Who is it?' To which Monch said, 'It's Joe DiMaggio.' I got so excited, I dropped the book in the water."
After fishing the book out, Bonadio -- as anyone in his position would -- said he stepped out of the whirlpool and DiMaggio stepped in, but not before asking Bonadio if he would have to pay for the damaged book.
"I said, 'No, I'm on scholarship.' And he said, 'That's alright,' and pulled out a $20 bill and gave it to me."
The stunned Bonadio said at first he refused the money, but at DiMaggio's insistence then accepted it. Bonadio then headed back to his room where four teammates were waiting and wondering why he was back so early from the treatment.
"When I told them Joe DiMaggio was down there, they bailed out of the room so fast that they threw me up against the wall, and headed to the Athletic Building."
And there Bonadio, who also returned, found the quartet sitting on the floor around the whirlpool talking with a legend larger than life.
"And that was one of the biggest thrills I had in my life," Bonadio said.
And that's saying plenty coming from a man who eventually rose to the rank of Second Lieutenant in the U.S. Marine Corps and went on to serve as an assistant football coach for 15 years and a basketball coach for 21 years in the highly successful Farrell program.

MEN’S CROSS COUNTRY TEAM RANKED EIGHTH IN NORTHEAST REGION
LISLE, ILL (November 7, 2002) – The Manhattan College men's cross country team returns to the United States Cross Country Coaches Association Northeast Region Poll rankings this week at eighth place after being ranked ninth in the first week of the 2002 season.
Last week's second place finish at the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Cross Country Championships increased the team's exposure. With the help of seniors Matthew Spring (Marcy, NY), Andres Cordero (Little Falls, NJ) and Tim Muratore (Tenafly, NJ), sophomore Daniel McGrath (Lynbrook, NY), and freshman Tyler Raymond (Scotia, NY), the team totaled 57 points. Iona College, who leads the USCCCA poll this week, won the championship with 18 points. The Northeast Region rankings are compiled by Barry Harwick and includes 37 Division I schools from Maine to New York.
Manhattan will return to action on Saturday, November 16th at 11:00 AM at the NCAA Northeast Regionals held at Van Cortlandt Park.

LADY JASPERS WIN EXHIBITION CONTEST AGAINST MELBOURNE
RIVERDALE, NY (NOVEMBER 5, 2002) – The Manhattan College women's basketball team defeated Melbourne 74-60 in an exhibition game on Tuesday night.

Nikoletta Deutsch (Budapest, Hungary) drained a three-pointer to give the Lady Jaspers a 50-39 lead. The Tigers were able to narrow the score to five, 57-52, after Erin Lorenzini made two three-pointers.
The Lady Jaspers countered with their second 10-0 run of the game to take a 67-52 lead. Schettig made a three-pointer and Mason added four points during the run.
After having no free throw attempts in the first half, Manhattan sealed the game by making 15-18 free throws in the second half.
The Lady Jaspers return to action on Sunday, November 10, when they head to Monmouth for their second exhibition contest at 2:00 PM.

HEADLINE: CROSS COUNTRY; Dartmouth Men's Team Wins Heptagonal Title
Tom McArdle of Dartmouth, the defending champion, and Jarrod Shoemaker, his teammate, were side by side two yards from the finish line in the Heptagonal Games Association championships yesterday at Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx.
As McArdle shouted, "You take it," Shoemaker did. He crossed first, completing the five-mile race in 24 minutes 36.3 seconds. McArdle was a tenth of a second slower. "It's really Tom's victory," said Shoemaker, a junior from Sudbury, Mass. "He pulled me along."
McArdle, a senior from Brookline, Mass., said: "He's my teammate, why shouldn't I let him win? It's a big breakthrough for him. I won this last year and my focus is elsewhere." That focus is the N.C.A.A. championships on Nov. 25 in Terre Haute, Ind.
Led by McArdle and Shoemaker, Dartmouth registered 56 points to win its third straight Heptagonal title and a record 15th.
In the women's 3.1-mile race, Kate O'Neill of Yale won for the second straight year, in 17:18.3, beating her twin, Laura (17:30.0), by 60 yards. Columbia, led by Caitlin Hickin (17:38.6), who was third, had 29 points to dethrone two-time defending champion Yale, which had 92.
Iona's Richard Kiplagat, a sophomore from Kenya, set a meet record of 24:26 in winning the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference men's five-mile run. In leading Iona to its 12th straight team title with 18 points, Kiplagat erased the record of 24:26.5 set by Kieran Stack, also of Iona, in 1983.
Jackie Truncellito (22:57.2) of Loyola (Md.) raced past Iona's Kate Buckley (22:57.8) in the final 25 yards to capture the women's 3.1-mile race. Manhattan College, with 51 points, upset Iona (52) for the team title.

With 22-match streak over, Jaspers move on
Manhattan turns focus to MAAC tournament in Disney World
Rick Remsnyder
The Journal News
Now that the "streak" is over for the Manhattan College women's volleyball team, the Jaspers can concentrate on getting ready for Disney World.
All 10 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference volleyball teams will gather at Disney World in mid-November for the conference championship. After his team had its school-record 22-match victory streak snapped on Tuesday at Fairfield, Peter Volkert and his 22-2 Jaspers will now set their sights on winning the school's first MAAC championship since 1989. Volkert, who had a 78-26 record at Pace before taking over Manhattan's program in 1997, said the Jaspers knew a lot of teams would be gunning for them long before they embarked on the 22-match winning streak, the longest in the country this season.
"We were picked No. 1 (in the MAAC) with Saint Peter's before the season started," he said. "So we had the bull's-eye on our backs already."
The Jaspers, who were fourth in the MAAC last year with a 6-3 record and 12-17 overall, have vastly improved with the additions of two transfers - Goedele "Luka" Van Cauteren (Southwest Missouri State) and Krista Thorsen (Loyola, Md.). Thorsen, a New City resident, starred at Clarkstown North High.
"We have some talented new players and we're a little bit taller and bigger," Volkert said.
Although the long winning streak is over, Volkert said the added exposure the program has gotten has helped in recruiting.
"Plus, it gave the kids more confidence," he said. "Even if they play in short spurts, they have the feeling they can come back and win."

Lions Have Season-High Goal Output vs. Jaspers
By Jon Kelly
Spectator Associate Sports Editor
Sophomore Kate Galante dribbling versus Dartmouth earlier in the year. The Lions split weekend play, going 1-1.
It was a tale of two cities for the Columbia women's soccer team last weekend, and to no one's surprise, the industrial decay of New Haven proved less fortuitous than bustling upper Manhattan. The Lions began their weekend by falling 2-1 at Yale on Saturday but redeemed themselves two days later at home in a 5-0 drubbing of Manhattan College.
The Lions, now 5-9-2 (0-4-2 Ivy), will finish out their season in Cambridge in hopes of securing their only Ivy win of the season against a Harvard team that narrowly defeated them 2-1 last year.
Saturday's contest in New Haven took on too familiar a form for the Lions. The Bulldogs (11-3-2, 3-2-1 Ivy) jumped ahead to a 2-0 lead in the match's first 12 minutes. Ali Cobbett opened the scoring at 5:13 off an assist from Laurel Karnes, and the sting was echoed little more than six minutes later when Chandra King deposited Courtney Diamond's feed at 11:35.
The Bulldogs' first-half dominance belied the Lions' offensive assertiveness. While Yale outshot Columbia 6-2, the Lions attempted four corner kicks and prevented the Elis from taking any of their own.
As they have all season, the Lions turned up the gas in the second half but scored too little and too late, despite multiple scoring chances in the game's final minutes.
"We had a pretty good chance against Yale," said first-year forward/midfielder Giovanna Kiani. "We really could have tied the match. We just had a few missed opportunities, and there were a lot of shots where we just didn't finish."
Sophomore defender Brianne Pardini's 87th-minute goal off a pass from first-year midfielder/defender Courtney Diamond against Yale reserve goalkeeper Sarah Walker ensured the Lions their eighth one-goal loss of the season. The Lions, who attempted 8 shots in the second frame, were unable to elude Yale goalkeeper Lindsay Sabel, who recorded six saves and 72 shutout minutes in the net. Junior goalkeeper Janine Ierardi played the entire match for the Lions and recorded 7 saves.
Two days later, on Monday, the Light Blue underwent a period of catharsis worthy of Dr. Phil, taking the Manhattan College Jaspers to the ropes early and keeping up the beating for a full 90 minutes. The Lions' 5-0 victory was their fourth shutout win and their most lopsided victory of the season.
Fittingly, the Lions' star for the day was senior co-captain forward Meredith Corkery, who scored two goals and added an assist in her last game at Columbia Soccer Stadium. The two goals--the 21st and 22nd of her career--moved Corkery to within a goal from fourth place on the Lions' all-time list.
First-year forward Courtney Nasshorn opened the scoring in only the game's second minute, with an assist credited to both Corkery and junior Tara Davis. Less than 20 minutes later, Nasshorn led Pardini to the top of the box, where the sophomore defender ripped a low line drive that snuck inside the right post.
"We wanted to come out strong right away. After we scored the first goal, we played with more confidence," Nasshorn said. "It was really a fun game to play, especially for a forward."
With the score tied 2-0 at the half, the Lions finished out the second period with the same ferocity with which they began the game. In the 72nd minute, junior forward Ashley Clift slid and managed to get a strong enough toe on Nasshorn's pass to muscle the ball into the net. However, the game's waning minutes belonged to the team's one senior, Corkery. In the 83rd minute, Corkery lofted a chipped feed from the center of the box to the back of the net, and less than two and a half minutes later, the co-captain was knocked down in the Manhattan box and launched the ensuing penalty kick beyond the reach of the keeper for a second time.
Left relatively unbothered in the back, sophomore Erissa Aronson notched two saves in the complete-game shutout. The last call for this year's Lion team will be in Cambridge on Saturday, and the Lions are hoping to return to New York with a win.
"We have nothing to lose," Nasshorn said. "We're not playing for a championship. There are no strings attached."
"We really want to beat Harvard. We're just trying to play with the same formation but come out as a unit," Kiani said. "We're trying to make a statement."

From: Michael Toner (1972)
Dear John,
As always, thanks for your work as CIC and Curmudgeon - Although I don't agree with Curmudgeon, I enjoy reading his views.
On a more interesting note, Frank Frisbie (EE - Class of 58) is receiving the Air Traffic Control Association's (ATCA) Glen Gilbert Memorial Award on Thursday, November 7th at the Association's annual awards banquet. The banquet will be held at the close of ATCA's annual convention at the Marriott Wardman Towers Hotel in Washington, DC.
ATCA is an industry/government/education trade association promoting progress and study in the science of air traffic control. The Gilbert award is the association's highest honor and is a kind-of "life achievement" air traffic control award - to borrow a term from the Oscars. Glen Gilbert was one of the "fathers" of air traffic control - when the system was codified in the mid 1930's. While air traffic controllers may be members of ATCA, this is not the controller's organization.
My own involvement in this story is that (almost) every year when ATCA presents this award they contract with me to produce a short biographical video of the awardee. So this year I (EE - '72) produced the video on Frank (EE - '58).
And there are more Jasper connections. I went to DC to meet with Frank and also to videotape comments and tributes from some of Frank's FAA and industry colleagues. This small group included two other '58 EE, Jaspers - classmates of Frank's who had also gone on to careers with the FAA – Joe DelBalzo and Gerry Markey. Joe, in fact, is an earlier winner of this same award. Another classmate, Dan Hamilton also works for the FAA.
Frank started with the FAA right out of MC - installing and maintaining navigation aids in the northeast. He rose to an associate administrator position before taking early retirement from the FAA in 1987. While at the FAA he managed the early stages of the airspace modernization program that continues to today. He then joined a start-up engineering consulting and services firm, helped grow it to a 150 person company and then steered it - through a series of acquisitions - to become part of Northrup Grumman Corp, where he is now a vice-president.
Frank has had a very interesting career and I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know him and his classmates.
Keep up the good work!

Subject: Job Search
Dear Curmudgeon:
You are right about the networking suggestion. Certainly, if you know someone who is in a company you want to penetrate, call and find out as much pertinent info as you can to determine who to contact and how you can fit the job requirements and company culture. On the other hand, the Internet has tons of info on companies, job postings and often you will find key execs listed in "Management" or "Investor Relations" pages. And to toot my horn... don't forget all the recruiting firm sites.
Re: Tim Reilly's email below: Nobody spells my name right the first time! I was trying to help Tim with his search.
Also, you may want to ask Bill O'Connell to send me a resume in WORD format. I'll see if he fits any of my clients needs.

[JR: Bil, thanks for the reinforcement. With MCOLDB, one can look by company name. Yeah, it ain't the most reliable source but I have yet to have any Jasper I contacted tell me to "Get Lost". As a matter of fact, in all the "networking" I have done, (And I have done a ton!), I have had only two people out of all of those to say in effect that. The vast majority of people will help because it is in everyone's best interest. If you do "networking" correctly!, then it is a dialogue. You tell me and I tell you. Then, we separate keeping the other's needs in the back corner of your mind. When something "hits", you get in touch. It's a two way street. Note, never once did I say, "ask the networking contact for a job". That's just dumb wrong. If I have a job you can fill, duh!, won't I tell you. Why make us both feel bad. What you want is that invisible spider's web, that alerts you when an opportunity floats by. (Read Lucht's book for how to do it right.) Pet peeve: With all due respect to the distinguished alum and the NYC Alum Club that setup the "networking meeting": Networking ain't going to an alumni meeting, having a beer and shooting the breeze! IMHP, it is as structured as a Kabuki dance, with its own process, structure, and "rules".)]

Dear John,
I was searching for a consultant on U.S. food regulations named David Hsu and found many web sites with the name Hsu in them. One was a personal site for Dr. Ken Y. Hsu, an orthopaedic surgeon who graduated from Manhattan College in 1972. His site www.webdesign.com/stmarys/cv.hsu.html is a resume with a long list of publications. Very impressive.
Thanks for doing Jasper Jottings. It does connect us.

[JR: <1> Careful, that's how I got started. Next you'll be more interested in "finding", then you'll go out of your way looking, start sending your finds around, and <POOOF!> three years later you'll have a new 40 hour per week "job". <2> That's an excellent high-quality find. Congrats. That's exactly how I do it. I have folder in my browser under "Jaspers" called "Fodder", where when I am wizzing along the information superhighway and I find an off-ramp that might lead to a Jasper, I bookmark it. "Tuesday" nights I go collect it. <3> Thanks go to people like you who give me something to collect and the rest of us to read. <4> I now can the title JCIT (Junior Collector In Training). <5> Another great posting. Some weeks it's feast!]

John,
I have been receiving JJ for the past several months and enjoy every issue. I am between jobs and I primarily scan JJ to help in my job search. In one issue you mentioned the name of a Manhattan graduate in my field, whom I subsequently contacted, and he has been extremely helpful in finding appropriate people for me to call at his place of employment.
I sent a resume to you in the summer. I would like to follow up with a brief description of my experience and the type of work I am looking for. Could you please post it in the next issue of JJ.
I am a seasoned executive with demonstrated accomplishments in engineering, product development, profit and loss, re-engineering business processes, and operations. Throughout my career I have a proven entrepreneurial track record in building, leading and motivating teams, setting and achieving aggressive goals, and communicating effectively throughout organizations. I have hands-on expertise in applying technology to solve business problems, aligning information technology with business processes, improving productivity, and lowering costs.
Currently I am seeking a position which leverages my technical as well as business expertise and experience. Examples include VP Engineering or Technology or a position with responsibility to improve productivity or win new business.
My experience has been with IBM Microelectronics (semiconductor process development), Intersil, formerly Harris Semiconductor, (P&L, product development, quality, manufacturing), and most recently BOC. At BOC, I made major contributions to their business unit which sells gases to the electronics industry. I reengineered the proposal process and developed automated design tools. Subsequently, I led the generation of major proposals and during a two-year period of time my division won over 60% of the jobs bid, three times our market share, which resulted in 20 new projects valued over $450M. My experience spans functional areas of Engineering, Business Analysis, Product Development, P&L, Manufacturing/Quality, and Information Technology. My expertise is in applying technology to solve business problems, reengineering business processes, aligning information technology with business processes, improving productivity, lower costs, winning new business through effective proposals, and motivating teams to achieve aggressive goals.
I have a BSEE from Manhattan and an MSEE from the University of Arizona. I welcome any suggestions regarding my job search. Thanks.
Best regards,
Ron Leone
[JR: <1> Hey score one for us! That's great feedback. <2> Suggestions! We careful what you ask for, you may get it. Here's a "networking profile" to let your "networking contacts", like me, know what you are interested it. I've attached two docs that you might find useful. I've included my latest so you know what I am looking for. ;-) Hey, no one ever said stop looking for help!]

John,
Thanks for the information on Networking Profiles, Recruiters, and job search books.
Regards,

[JR: <1> In response to your email I have made the materials that I sent you available to everyone. I was reluctant since I wasn't sure if people would find them valuable. I know I can be "pushy", Frau Reinke reminds me all the time, and didn't want to portray myself as a "authority". But, it works for me, And, I like to give "it" to everyone.]

John Reinke,
I noticed your dialogue with Mr. Bill O'Connell in the last edition of "Jasper Jottings," and since I, like him, am a freelancer looking for work, I was inspired to send my own profile your way. Thank you for your services.

I've been writing and editing professionally since 1973, when I worked as an associate editor for a group of weekly newspapers. My experience since then has been quite broad, including feature-writing for magazines such as the "Village Voice," the "New York Sunday News Magazine" and "Travel and Leisure." I've published book-reviews, memoirs and, recently, a regular newspaper column.
From 1983 to 1997 I worked in corporate communications for the Brooklyn Union Gas Company, now KeySpan Energy, and have continued to provide occasional services to the new company. My titles at Brooklyn Union were Media Relations Representative and Media Relations Supervisor, which meant that I was a spokesperson, but the job also involved a lot of writing and editing. I wrote video scripts and helped produce the videos. I was the company's chief executive-speechwriter and produced copy for the quarterly and annual reports. I contributed to the company newspaper, edited and wrote for a public-service magazine about Brooklyn, and helped fellow employees to prepare their own presentations. My most rewarding project there was a book-length centennial history of the company, which turned about to be more interesting than I or anyone else expected, and even won an award from the Brooklyn Borough President's office.
Since leaving corporate life, I've penned another organizational history, of Catholic Charities in the Brooklyn Diocese, to be published imminently by Fordham University Press. I have hopes of writing another book for a more general audience ( i.e., a "real" book), but in the meantime am looking for part-time or temporary (contractual) writing or editing work, corporate, journalistic or otherwise -- or, for that matter, any kind of decently paying job for a person with the ability to organize thoughts.
I can be reached through the alumni website or c/o Jasper Jottings

[JR: <1> Pile on. I have begun to create a directory with Jasper Networking Profiles. With everyone's permission, I will send them out to potential jasper networkers who ask for it? <2> With your writing credentials, you must cringe when you read this stuff. My only defense is it's an emerging medium and us "enjinears never hadt spelt 2 gud". Sorry to impose such a "sentence" on you. "You are hereby sentenced to 5 years reading Jasper Jottings!" "Oh no judge anything but that." I do run spell check. <3> Hmmm, "services", boy, that's giving it a hefty label. I am just having fun with my hobby here. Although if no body was taking it, reading it, and responding to it, I am not sure I would put as much effort into it. It is an ego trip to think that I might be actually helping people I can see with my little ezine. ]

Dear John,
My e-mail was down during most of October. (No, it wasn't because I didn't pay my bill!) Consequently, I missed the editions you compiled during that time.
Can you tell me how I can retrieve the missing issues?
Keep up the good work!

Dear John,
Thank you for your note. I did retrieve the October issues through your website.

Just wondered if you had sent a Jottings this weekend. If so it must have missed me.
Hope all is well.

THEY RE STEALING FROM YOU & WHY VOTE FOR THEM?
The Democrat Party claim to black voters is weakening a bit in this country .. but it is still unreasonably strong. Over 90 percent of blacks will vote for Democrats tomorrow.
You know, if someone was stealing from me I doubt that I would repay their efforts with blind loyalty at the polls.
Stealing? What s this stealing stuff?
Simple & it all deals with the Democrats favorite government program, Social Security. Now Social Security isn t the Democrats favorite program because it works & it s their favorite program because it fulfills two Democratic political goals.
First: Social Security can be and is used very effectively in every single election to frighten old folks into voting for Democrats.
Second: Social Security builds dependency on government, a prime Democratic goal (and a pretty strong Republican goal too, for that matter.)
But what s this about stealing? OK, here s how it works.
As you know you have no legal right to the money you pay into Social Security. IF you happen to live long enough, and IF you meet certain other criteria which can be changed without your permission from year-to-year, then you MAY receive some monthly checks from the government & right up until the time you die. When you die the rest of your money is gone. No, it doesn t go to your family. What do you think this is? A private investment plan? The money is just gone.
Now that we ve introduced death into this picture, let s consider who dies sooner and who dies later. To do this we divide Americans into four categories. Black men, black women, white men and white women. Those are the four biggies. Among the big four white women have the longest life expectancy. Black men have the lowest life expectancy. This means that many more black men than white women die before they receive any Social Security checks. Some live to collect a few checks, but not nearly as many checks as the white women scarf down. Studies show that the net result here is that the average black working man in the United States loses about $10,000 over his lifetime to white women. A quick government-mandated transfer of wealth and income from the average black working man to the average white working woman of ten grand.
Now --- if these black men had died with private Social Security accounts, where would that money go? To their wives, their children, their parents, their churches & any where they wanted it to go. If they want to leave it to a white woman, fine! But only if it is their choice? And just which political party is it that wants to set up those private accounts? Well & it damn sure isn t the Democrats.
So & would someone please explain this blind, irrational loyalty black men have to a party that so blatantly steals from them?
<end quote>
And, while you are at it, would someone explain to me why anyone would support such a system? Can anyone spell "Ponzi scheme"? We are the product of the "great american melting pot", the inheritors and descendants of the men and woman who threw out the greatest power in the world to start the American experiment. We are the only example of liberty in human history. So why would the children -- figuratively speaking -- of the "rugged individualists" take this watered-down version of "security". Are we so dumbed down by government schooling that we can no longer see a con job. Maybe during the Great Depression, people were naive, or didn't have the concepts of "slippery slope", "limited government", or "good as gold". What's our excuse now? We think Enron is bad! What the "government" is doing is a hundred times worse.
Explain that to me? I sure can't explain to anyone else.
Curmudgeon
And that’s the last word.
