Memories… We hope that you enjoy reading this section, which always brings back fond memories of our alumni. Please keep us informed through e-mail, land-mail, telephone, or pay us a visit at Kingsbury Hall. Professor Glanz saw Paul Cantin ('68 BS, '70 MS) at a UNH Chamber Singers Concert in Portsmouth. Paul works for a disk drive company in MA and asked about Hal Wochholz. Professor Glanz met Donald McNamera ('69 BS) at a UNH rehab program. Don was in the AFIT program until '69. Professor Glanz saw Bob Moore ('72 BS) in Exeter, NH. Bob has been in the electric power industry and has seen lots of changes. Pat Fallon Quinlan and Dan Quinlan ('80 BS) met Professor Glanz during a visit to UNH. Both work at Agilent and have two wonderful children. Susan Dubois ('81 BS, 84 MS) is working on her Ph.D. in psychology from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology. She told Professor Glanz that she is living in Eliot, Maine with her family and is currently doing an internship in the Portsmouth area. Thomas Blackadar ('81 BS) wrote Dr. LaCourse a nice note saying that he read Signals and Noise and thanks us for the memories. Tom offered to come to UNH and talk about the wireless Internet-linked sports and fitness monitors and the engineering behind them. Tom writes, "The watch looks awesome, the low power sensor technology is something people can really get excited about (Op Amps 101)". You can learn more about the FS-1 Speedometer and purchase one on-line at http://www.pedinc.com. Aaron D. Pailes ('84 BS, '86 MS) visited us in July to deliver four new high speed digital oscilloscopes that his company donated to our department. Aaron is a Principle Electrical Engineer with Vigilant Networks LLC of Burlington, MA. Aaron previously worked at the MIT Millstone Hill Radar facility in Westford, MA. At Millstone Hill Aaron worked in the areas of DSP and radar processing. Peter Kelly ('85 BS) was seen by Professor Glanz at the Press Room in Portsmouth (twice!). Doug Larson ('86 BS, '89 MS, '96 Ph.D. Physics) visited the UNH campus. He was back from working at JPL and is now working in commercial software programming. Jarrett Morrow ('89 BS, '91 MS) writes that after leaving UNH he earned his Doctorate degree from the ECE Department at the University of Houston. His doctoral research involved superconducting microstrip patch antennas and arrays. He worked as a consultant and a full-time employee of a microwave company for a couple of years in Houston designing microwave components, amplifiers, and antennas. He and his wife Wendy relocated back to NH at the end of 1998 so that he could take a position with Spike Broadband Systems in Nashua. At Spike Broadband, Jarrett designed antennas for their wireless systems and performed electromagnetic analysis. He is currently working for Cushcraft Corporation in Manchester, NH. At Cushcraft Jarrett is the principal antenna engineer responsible for antenna research and development. Janto Suwirjo ('90 BS, 92 MS) and Chris Aldrich ('90 BS, 92 MS) visited the Department recently to let us know what they are currently doing. Janto has worked for two years as a software engineer for Akamai Technologies. He is writing applications that analyze IP address space and maps them to be served from their most optimal data center. Janto worked at Cyrix Corporation before going to Akamai. He has been married for 8 years and has 3 sons: Hendrick 4, Bernard 3, and Gordon 1. His wife Mimi stayed home after Gordon was born. They currently live in Derry. Ann Rothwell ('93 MS) was on the UNH campus. She is considering options now for bioengineering. Professor Carter met Amy Bonsall ('96 BS) and Dave Weber ('95 BS) in the Bagelry on a Saturday morning in June. Dave and Amy were back in town to attend Adam Healey's ('95 BS) wedding at the Three Chimneys Inn. Amy is still with Agilent and Dave moved about 18 months ago to a startup company named Atheros Communications, which is in the high speed wireless LAN arena. Thomas Laferriere (2000 BS) dropped the Chairman a line to congratulate him and the designers of the ECE web page. Thomas writes, "This page is fantastic with its cutting edge look that is both informative and streamlined. This design, I believe, is a keeper for many years to come." David Dunham (2000 BS) sent us a nice e-mail writing, "Things are going well on my behalf. Upon graduation I was hired by a small company called StockerYale in Salem, NH. I am currently part of the R&D initiative. I will be heavily involved with the design, testing, and production of specialty optical fiber. I am currently working on numerous projects for the machine vision aspect of our company (fiber & fluorescent lighting). I would like to say "HI" to the staff and students in the ECE Department. I have found the tools acquired as an undergrad at UNH to be very useful and desirable". |
