GENERAL: I am a mature, multidisciplinary, innovative, and productive senior staff

scientist with a varied and broad background. The material in this vita documents my
technical inventive skills, management ability, extensive knowledge of applied human factors,
in-depth experience in electronics, communications and computers, and accomplishments in
the design, conduct, analysis, interpretation and reporting of OT&E and technical studies.
EDUCATION AND EMPLOYMENT: I have Bachelors and Masters degrees in
experimental psychology with minors in mathematics and statistics respectively. From '55 to
'63 I worked in electronics as a technician, technical writer and research assistant. I have
performed human factors research since '63 as an engineering research psychologist. My first
six years were with the Franklin Institute Research Laboratories (FIRL); the rest have been
with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Technical Center.
MANAGEMENT EXPERIENCE: I was a member of the FAA Tech Center Engineering
Management Staff for 4 years, had technical oversight over several major program areas, and
negotiated program area agreements between the Tech Center and FAA Washington
headquarters. At the Tech Center, I have done technical direction and monitoring of engineers,
engineering research psychologists, and mathematicians. At the Franklin Institute I was a
program manager with full responsibility for obtaining project funding, purchasing equipment,
staffing and execution of government-sponsored research studies. My leadership ability is
also shown by having served as president of the American Society of Inventors, the S.J.
Section of the IEEE, the FAA-Mainland Toastmasters, and the South Jersey IBM PC Users
Group, Inc.
RESEARCH ABILITY: My work has involved original and creative research using
advanced electronic equipment and sophisticated experimental designs, data collection
protocols, and statistical analyses. I have designed many questionnaires for the evaluation of
advanced ATC equipment. I have submitted three patent applications, been awarded two US
patents, made numerous disclosures of invention, and produced many successful equipment
designs.
INTERESTS: I have a strong intellectual curiosity and an analytic/synthetic bent that covers
a number of "hard" and "soft" disciplines. I am enthusiastic concerning the technical content
of research programs and can motivate others with my enthusiasm. I am an amateur
mycologist and photographer. I own several PCs and have developed proficiency in the use of
word processing, spreadsheet, and data base application programs. I have programmed in C+
+, C, ADA, Lisp, Pascal, Forth, Basic, assembler, and HP RPN languages.

BACKGROUNDSUMMARY

9/88 - 3/31/95 - Senior Engineering Research Psychologist (ERP), GS-180-14, Advanced

Automation Systems Division, ACN-200, FAA Tech Center. Lead ERP for the operational
test and evaluation (OT&E) of the Voice Switching and Control System (VSCS) to replace the
WECO-300 switch at the 22 Air Route Traffic Control Centers (ARTCCs). Directed an Air
Traffic Control Simulation study to determine whether voice communications delay interferes
with the Air Traffic Control Specialist (ATCS) performing his job ('89). Conducted ATCS
usability tests ('89 &'90) and stability tests of the VSCS prototypes ('90) at both contractors'
facilities. Participated in study of acceptability of binaural acoustic delay at adjacent or
nearby ATC positions ('90, '91). Test lead for VSCS stability tests performed in '91, '92, and
in the formal OT&E in '93, and the ORD OT&E in '94 and '95 at the FAA Tech Center.
Wrote a computer program, SCENGEN.PAS, which has been used by the FAA (and both
VSCS contractors) to generate scenario scripts for VSCS console operators to make all types
of calls among positions. Wrote a computer program VU.CPP to generate time lines for the
various events occurring during the stability tests: planned "failures", "unplanned" failures,
call placements, TSU activity, etc. Wrote STVS.PAS which allows automated voice
intelligibility testing via ANSI spec.
5/88 - 9/88 - Senior Engineering Research Psychologist, GS-180-14, Airborne Collision
Avoidance and Data Systems Branch, ACT-170, FAA Tech Center. Lead ERP on the Airborne

Management Unit hardware (Apollo Computer) and software for Central Flow Control
information in Enroute Centers (ARTCC's). Worked on a project to develop a system for
computer-aided air traffic control tower cab siting on the airport surface. This included
computation of 3D perspective views and shadow plots for any tower cab location and height
to determine the extent of visual obstruction of the runways, taxiways and ramps by airport
features. Developed a comprehensive set of questionnaires and designed data collection
protocol for ETABS test and evaluation. Oversaw collection of data during the tests, wrote a
statistical data base and reporting program for the analysis and graphical presentation of
results, interpreted the results and authored the final report. Directed and monitored a junior

The following material documents my proficiency in use of programming languages in
support of projects on which I have worked.
VU.CPP was written in Turbo C++ Version 3.0 in 8/93. VU takes a text file of event codes,
starting times and ending times and generates event time-lines in a Gantt chart format. Three
days are displayed on a page in landscape mode. Time resolution is one-half hour for a total
of 144 time periods per page. This allows visual inspection of the time relationship of the
many events occurring during the testing periods.
STVSI.PAS was written Turbo Pascal 6.0 and completed 6/93. STVSI permits automated
intelligibility testing of the FAA's Small Tower Voice Switching System according to the ANSI
S3.2 1989 Modified Rhyme Test.
PHONE.CPP was written in Turbo C++ Version 3.0 in 5/93. PHONE is discrete-event
simulation of a small telephone switch using Monte-Carlo techniques. It was done as an
assignment for the course, Discrete Event Simulation, SE540P1, in the MS of Software
Engineering program at Monmouth College.
REMEZ.C was originally written by Parks McClellan in Fortran and converted to Unix
compatible C by Bob Briggs. I converted this program to work with Turbo C++ in 11/92.
REMEZ is a Remez Exchange FIR Filter Design Program used for Digital Signal Processing
(DSP). I performed a similar conversion for METEOR.PAS, copyright Prof. Ken Steiglitz.
METEOR does constraint-based design of linear-phase FIR filters.
FRACDOT.PAS improved on a Basic routine from Barnsley. It is capable of displaying any
Iterated Function System using the Chaos Game algorithm. The contractive affine transform
matrix is read from a text file. Different images can be displayed depending on the values
within a CAT vector and the number of vectors in the matrix. One valuable feature of this
program is the autoscaling feature which runs a subset (5 to 10 percent) of the total points
without displaying the image to determine the scaling factor. Image size and number of points
are parameters input by the user.
JAZZCEL.PAS was written in Turbo Pascal. This program takes a one-dimensional cellular
algorithm which draws a Serpinski triangle on the screen using ASCII characters. Each line

Page27.

BruceL.RosenbergTECHNICAL
REPORTS

of the output generates a note (one of the black or white piano keys). Repetitions of patterns
on the screen produce repetitions of melodies. One interesting feature of this program is the
way it is able to display 160 characters horizontally across the screen by creative use of the
upper 128 IBM ASCII characters.
SNAKE.PAS was written in Turbo Pascal, most recent version is 6/91. This is a game which
was distributed nationally on BBS's and appeared as one of 15 "fun and fabulous games" in
the book, Phenomenal PC Games, by B. LeVitus and E. Tittel, Prima Publishing, 1991.
SCENGEN.PAS written in Turbo Pascal 5.5 and completed 7/90. SCENGEN automatically
generates scenario scripts for console operators running stability testing on the FAA Voice
Switching and Control System (VSCS). This test is central to realistic human operator testing
of this 1.7 billion dollar program. In addition to generating the printed scripts, the program
produces totals of the different types of calls for each of the operator teams for each of the
shifts worked.
SCALER.PAS was written in Turbo Pascal V. 4.0 and completed 4/88. SCALER generates an
interval scale from user-supplied or computer-generated weights for from 2 to 4 factors
(dimensions) and 2 to 7 levels (ratings) within each of the factors. It can be used to eliminate
the requirement of the Subjective Workload Assessment Technique (SWAT) to have the subject
sort a set of cards bearing the complete set of factor-by-level values. In addition, SCALER
eliminates the need for conjoint methods for determining factor weights from the sorted decks.
ASC2PAS, ASC2ADA, ASC2C, ASC2CPP are a series of programs which take a text files of
ASCII characters and translates them into text files in Pascal, ADA, C, or C++. The
translated file is source code which when compiled, linked, and run will display the original
text file on the screen. This screen generator significantly speeds the process of coding
display screens.
This program has appeared on international shareware CDROMS.
CATSTAT.BAS was written in basic in 9/81. CATSTAT was used to analyze the
questionnaire data collected in the ETABS (touch-entry flight progress strips) evaluation
study. It computed t-scores, ranked the results, performed Kruskal-Wallis rank order
statistics, and generated reports. In addition to tabular reports, CATSTAT produced plain
English sentences describing the results.
I also wrote numerous programs for programmable calculators to perform sophisticated
statistical analyses of earlier studies from 1968 to 1980. More recently I have used
spreadsheets for such work.

1) Experience in human factors research related to complex aviation systems:

My experience in human factors research related to complex aviation systems is documented
herein. Some of the relevant areas are:
a. VSCS operational test and evaluation program
b. Data Link development and evaluation program
c. Enhanced LLWAS evaluation study
d. ETABS evaluation study
e. Mexico City Terminal Area Graphic Study and earlier studies at Las Vegas and Atlanta
Airports.
f. Measurement of pilot workload
g. Human Factors Evaluation of Automated FSS functions
h. Evaluation of a simulated operational Airborne Collision Avoidance System
2) Experience in experimental test design and system/operational analysis of large complex
systems:
I have a demonstrated ability for original and creative research using advanced electronic
equipment and sophisticated experimental designs applied to the system/operational analysis
of large complex systems. In statistics and the design of experiments I have made effective
use of a wide variety of approaches: analysis of variance up to and including a six-way
analysis, full factorial, repeated measures, nested and missing-cell designs; factor analysis
with reconstruction of the predicted raw data matrix; multivariate analyses of variance;
nonparametric statistics; analysis of covariance; correlation including nonlinear and multiple
regression; determination of best fit equations; coefficients of reliability and validity; chisquare tests; contingency coefficients and other information theoretic measures. I have
programmed computers to calculate and plot some of the above statistics.
I have used operations research techniques such as queuing theory, pert charts, utility
analysis, etc. I own personal computers and have developed proficiency in the use of
spreadsheet, data base and word processing application programs. I have learned C++, ADA,
Lisp, C, Pascal, Forth, and Basic programming languages.
In the development of mathematical models of the human operator, I have used the following
techniques in the analysis and synthesis of feedback control systems: Heaviside operational
calculus (LaPlace transforms), determination of transfer functions on the basis of block
diagrams, frequency and time domain techniques using gain-phase and impulse response
plots, respectively, complex plane methods including root locus plots, system open-loop,
closed-loop and error responses, and digital approaches to convolution or inverse convolution
operations, auto and cross-correlation function analysis, Fourier transforms, power spectral

Page32.

density plots, and amplitude distribution plots. Use of these techniques is demonstrated in
Technical Reports listed herein.
3) Knowledge of components in an advanced traffic control system/subsystem:
My knowledge of components in an advanced traffic control system/subsystem is documented
by the report I authored on ETABS evaluation which is specifically considered as a precursor
to the Sector Suite for the Advanced Automation System (AAS). Also, my electronics
experience and continuing interest as a computer hobbyist keep me abreast of the latest
developments in computer displays and input/output devices
In addition, involvement in the evolution over the past 12 years of such advances as area
navigation (RNAV) implementation and collision avoidance systems provides a basis for
understanding future directions in ATC.
4) Knowledge of aviation operations and flight procedures:
I acquired knowledge of aviation operations and flight procedures through VSCS studies,
through Data Link studies, through pilot workload studies involving the GAT-II simulators,
through participation in several graphic studies of terminal area air traffic control, tower cab
studies, FSS studies, and RNAV and collision avoidance studies. I have eleven hours flight
training toward a private pilot's license.

BACKGROUND

University Training and other Education:

I have Bachelors and Masters degrees in experimental psychology with minors in mathematics
and statistics respectively. While working on my Bachelors degree at the University of
California at Santa Barbara, I was research assistant to
Dr. Robert Gottsdanker and did human engineering research in target acquisition and tracking
behavior on a USAF contract. My Masters thesis adviser at Temple University was Dr.
Harold Coppock, under whom I did my research in visual, auditory, and tactile cognitive
concept formation and problem solving. Also while at Temple U. I performed an innovative
binary factor analysis and designed and built a mutual inhibition neural network simulator to
demonstrate visual edge enhancement effects.
In '53 I attended the Moore School of Electrical Engineering at the U of P. In '55 I completed
a USAF Sight and Radar Course. From '55 to '63 I worked in electronics as a technician,
technical writer and research assistant. I have been performing human engineering research
since '63 as an engineering research psychologist.
In 1984 I took an out-of-agency Integrated Computer Systems Course 305, Designing
Effective Man-Machine Interfaces concerning computer/human engineering techniques and
an FAATC SAS Basics Course on data handling operations and statistical methods. In 1975
I attended a four day seminar o on Multivariate Data Analysis Techniques, at the Univ. of
Chicago and an 18 hour course on Multivariate Analysis at the FAA Technical Center.
Work experience:
At the Franklin Institute Research Laboratories, I worked under Dr. Ezra Krendel, a pioneer
in mathematical modeling of the human operator of control systems. I participated in the
development of System Technology Inc's Critical Tracking Task and designed and oversaw the
construction of an advanced implementation. I performed empirical research on and
mathematical modeling of the effects of vibration on a helicopter gunner, long-term fatigue as
evidenced by muscle potentials over 20 muscles, and time-domain modeling of an anti-aircraft
gunner's behavior.
My knowledge of human engineering in advanced traffic control subsystems is documented by
my 12 reports on VSCS evaluation studies, by the report I authored on ETABS evaluation
which is specifically considered as a precursor to the Interim Sector Suite System (ISSS) (new
Air Traffic Controller Radar Consoles). Also, my electronics experience and continuing
interest as a computer hobbyist keep me abreast of the latest developments in the human
engineering of computer displays and input/output devices
I acquired human engineering knowledge related to aviation operations and flight procedures
through VSCS studies, through Data Link studies, through pilot workload studies involving
the GAT-II simulators, through participation in several graphic studies of terminal area air
traffic control, tower cab studies, FSS studies, and RNAV and collision avoidance studies. I
have eleven hours flight training toward a private pilot's license.

As Engineering Research Psychologist (ERP) on the FAATC Director's Staff, I wrote Human
Factors Program Analysis: A Study of Potential Actions to Increase Program Effectiveness in
the FAA and at NAFEC, ANA-4 (EMS), 3/80.
In statistics and the design of experiments I have made effective use of a wide variety of
approaches: analysis of variance up to and including a six-way analysis, full factorial,
repeated measures, nested and missing-cell designs; factor analysis with reconstruction of the
predicted raw data matrix; multivariate analyses of variance; nonparametric statistics;
analysis of covariance; correlation including nonlinear and multiple regression; determination
of best fit equations; coefficients of reliability and validity; chi-square tests; contingency
coefficients and other information theoretic measures. I have programmed PC's to calculate
and plot some of the above statistics.
I have used operations research techniques such as queuing theory, pert charts, utility
analysis, etc. I own three PCs and have developed proficiency in the use of spreadsheet, data
base, word processing, and graphics application programs. I have learned C++, C, ADA,
Lisp, Pascal, Forth, Basic and HP RPN programming languages.
In the development of mathematical models of the human operator, I have used the following
techniques in the analysis and synthesis of feedback control systems: Heaviside operational
calculus (LaPlace transforms), determination of transfer functions on the basis of block
diagrams, frequency and time domain techniques using gain-phase and impulse response
plots, respectively, complex plane methods including root locus plots, system open-loop,
closed-loop and error responses, and digital approaches to convolution or inverse convolution
operations, auto and cross-correlation function analysis, Fourier transforms, power spectral
density plots, and amplitude distribution plots. Use of the above techniques is demonstrated in
the Technical Reports in the attached Vita.
I have maintained an ongoing interest in the state-of-the-art in human engineering, in advanced
analysis methods, such as digital signal processing, neural networks and fuzzy logic, and in
computer hardware and software advances. I gave a lecture presentation on fuzzy logic to the
SJ IEEE dinner meeting 3/93. I taught 3 four-day classes of FAATC Course No. 81353,
"Introduction to Artificial Neural Networks", in the spring of '94.

ENGINEERING

Work experience: During the past 30 years, my work has involved designing, developing
and/or monitoring ATCS and Pilot activities using advanced electronic equipment and
sophisticated experimental designs, data collection protocols, and statistical analyses. I have
designed numerous questionnaires for the evaluation of advanced ATC and Aviation
equipment.
For 24 years at the FAA Technical Center (and 6 prior years at the Franklin Institute Research
Laboratories) I developed experiment plans, designed studies, collected and analyzed data,
interpreted results and authored 43 major reports on a wide range of projects. These efforts
could not have been accomplished without my ability to work closely with Air Traffic
Controllers, AF technicians, operations research analysts, programmers, engineers,
engineering research psychologists, computer scientists, meteorologists, mathematicians and
other disciplines. A complete list of my technical reports appears in the attached vita.
In the past 4 years, I have authored 12 technical reports on the VSCS (see Vita, page 14). I
have lead five areas of VSCS testing: 1) delay specification validation, 2) PostFAT 1
controller/user evaluation, 3) PostFAT 2 stability test, binaural echo study, 4) FAATC
simulation support facility evaluation, and 5) prototype (VSCS PDP) evaluation at the FAA
Technical Center. I have been lead ERP in the development of test protocols, monitoring
techniques, data collection methodology, and questionnaires for these efforts. I have
performed statistical analyses, interpretation of the results, and authored reports for these test
activities.
I conducted controller usability tests ('89 &'90) and system stability tests of the VSCS
prototypes ('90) at both contractors' facilities. I was nominated for FAA Technical Center
Award for Achievement and Excellence, Technical Publication Award, for the Stability Test
Final Report on the VSCS OT&E program, 4/91 and received a Performance Award,
Outstanding Rating, 7/91.
I received the FAA Tech Center Award for Achievement and Excellence, Technical Support
Award, for conducting ACN-120 VSCS Prototype Controller Usability Testing during the
period from 11/89 to 3/90, award presented 7/90 and received a Performance Award,
Outstanding Rating, 7/90.
I was principal author on a paper which provides a guide for conducting test and evaluations:
Rationale and Rules-of-Thumb for Questionnaire-Based System Evaluation Studies, with
Zurinskas, T., published in the 31st Annual Air Traffic Control Association Fall Conference
Proceedings, 1986.
Developed a new approach to on-line, real time evaluation of pilots' objective/subjective
workload (POSWAT), FAA Tech Center Working Paper, '81. Conducted experiments on
validation of POSWAT and wrote reports on the results. Received the FAA Tech Center Team
Award for Professional Achievement and Excellence, Professional Journal Award, for a
Human Factors journal article on the POSWAT experiments (with Rehmann and Stein) 7/84.
Designed and oversaw construction of a critical tracking task device for the determination of
dynamic human reaction time. Researched scaling techniques and developed math models of
workload and performance.

I provided written input on OT&E methodology in my Response to Technology Planning

Incorporated's OT&E Interview Questions in preparation for an FAATC OT&E Training
Course, 8 pages, 7/17/91. This material was acknowledged to be valuable by the training
team.
I wrote a paper which documented the history of ATCS and Pilot workload and performance
measurement in the FAA over the past 30 years: Workload and Performance Measurement at
the FAA Technical Center: Past, Present, and Future, Working Paper WP-BR-88.005, 9/88.
The paper contains recommendations methodology for the future.
My paper, Proposal for Creation of a Modern Task Activity Data Recording Capability at the
FAA Technical Center, Working Paper WP-BR-88.004, 8/88, sketches the history of task
activity data recording and makes recommendations for future ATCS task recording
methodology.
I have had continuing input in the development of the FAA Technical Center Operational Test
Plan for the Voice Switching and Control System, ACN-200, 6/12/92 and to the FAA
Technical Center Operational Procedures for the Voice Switching and Control System, ACN200.
In the late 1960's, I was involved in research on a remote TV monitoring system. The task
was similar in many ways to that of the airport security baggage X-ray machine operators.
This research involved developing methods for measuring the ability of human operators to
detect and recognize targets via TV monitors. I wrote, Test plan for evaluation of the Head
Aimed Television System, which was done under personal contract with TRG of Control Data
Corp. Rosemont, Pa. 10/69, and Remotely Controlled, Remotely Monitored Television
Systems: An Evaluation Study. FIRL Report No. 1-203, 41 pages, 2/68.

WRITING

At the Franklin Institute Research Laboratories I was a program manager with full
responsibility for obtaining research project funding, purchasing equipment, staffing and
execution of government-sponsored research studies. I designed novel electronic measuring
equipment and dynamic control system simulators and supervised an electronics technician
and a computer programmer during the construction phases. During my 6 years there, I
managed five major research project areas and successfully completed all of them.
I was a member of the FAA Tech Center Engineering Management Staff for 4 years, had
technical oversight over several major research program areas, and negotiated program area
agreements between the Tech Center and FAA Washington headquarters. This work involved
coordinating with a number of research professionals and specialists: meteorologists,
electronics engineers, air traffic control specialists, flight service station specialists, and pilots
at different levels of the FAA. The job also involved evaluation of the research efforts and
briefing the Center Director on the results of the evaluation.
Outside my work environment, my leadership and managerial abilities are also shown by
having served as president of the American Society of Inventors, the S.J. Section of the IEEE,
the FAA-Mainland Toastmasters, and the South Jersey IBM PC Users Group, Inc.
My work has involved original and creative research using advanced electronic equipment and
sophisticated experimental designs, data collection protocols, and statistical analyses. During
the conduct of this work on a number of research studies at the Tech Center, I have performed
technical direction, monitoring, and evaluation of the work of engineers, engineering research
psychologists, and mathematicians. The Periodic Objective/Subjective Workload Assessment
Technique (POSWAT), which I invented, led to several research projects and novel equipment
designs at FAATC and outside the government.
At the FAA Technical Center I have been lead ERP on the following multidisciplinary research
projects:
Voice Switching and Control System (VSCS) Voice Delay Study
Measurement of Pilot Workload Using the POSWAT
The Relationship between Effort Rating and Performance in a Critical Tracking Task
Investigation of Pilot Self-Briefing Techniques
A Study of Atmospheric Ionization: Measurement of the Ion Conditions in an ATC
Laboratory and a Review of the Literature of Ion Effects on Performance.
At the Franklin Institute Research Laboratories, I managed the following multidisciplinary
research projects:
Experimental Systems for Impact Protection
Dynamic Response of the Human Operator in Tactical Fire Control Situations: A Time
Domain Matrix Approach to Modeling the Target-Tracking Behaviour of the Antiaircraft
Gunner

Remotely Controlled, Remotely Monitored Television Systems: An Evaluation Study
The Effects of Vibration on Manual Fire Control in Helicopters
The Effect of Habituation on the Availability of Sensory Data for Use in Problem Solving: An
Exploratory Study of Three Sensory Modalities
At the FAA Technical Center, I have been called in to "rescue" research projects on several
occasions, when others' planned approaches did not appear to be working. That is, there have
been research projects in which preliminary data could not be adequately analyzed. I was
asked to intervene and designed data collection protocols to provide desired data for inferential
statistical analyses to supply the needed information. All of the research or test and evaluation
efforts I started were successfully completed.
I have a strong intellectual curiosity and an analytic/synthetic bent that covers a number of
"hard" and "soft" disciplines and I work well with other researchers in these disciplines. I am
enthusiastic concerning the technical content of research programs and can motivate others
with my enthusiasm.

PROJECTS

My wife and I just celebrated our 33rd wedding anniversary. We have raised 5 loving and
talented sons. Our family is a close one; but not a closed one. We always had an open home
that welcomed our sons' friends. Some of them still call my wife and me, "Mom" and "Dad".
We have hosted foreign teachers and an FAA summer scholar. I believe the family
environment is central in determining the quality of extra-familial relations. I was active in
the Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts. I have a humanistic, egalitarian outlook on life.
Since 1979, I have been active in NFFE Local 1340 union and served as a vice president and
as a local representative and advisor. I received 2 days of training at the NFFE Labor Union
Training Seminar in '85 and at the Stewardship, Representation and A76 Training in '84. I
have represented 2 formal cases before management.
In 1986, I graduated from the 2-year Union Leadership Academy. Night courses were held at
Atlantic Community College, conducted by the Labor Education Center at Rutgers University
and certified by the Institute of Management and Labor Relations. This program provided a
labor-oriented perspective which increased my understanding of human relations in the work
place. The program consisted of eight 6-week courses:
Trade Union Administration
Labor and Society
Labor Leadership
Labor and Government
Contemporary Labor Problems
Labor and the Economy
Theories of the Labor Movement Labor Law.
I attended three FAA-sponsored human relations courses. These courses showed me the
importance of high regard of self and of others and that time spent in team-building is not
wasted. I learned that an effective team can do amazing things in a short time. The three
courses were:
Advanced Human Relations, FAA No. 81078, 5 days off-site, 2/85,
Basic Human Relations, FAA No. 81078, 5 days off-site, 11/84, and
Personal Effectiveness, FAA No. 81067, FAA Tech Center, 6/83.
During the 1980's, I attended three Lifespring self-actualization training courses on a selfsponsored basis. I learned that we all want recognition, approval, and love. The courses
showed me that I am capable of much more than I had thought; that I can rise to any
challenge. The courses were:
Lifespring Masters Training, 4 days, Wash. DC, 3/87 and
Basic and Advanced Lifespring Training, 5+5 days, Phila, PA, 11/82.
I enjoy teaching and interacting with people in creative ways. As an officer in a number of
organizations, I have facilitated numerous meetings. I have given inspirational talks to the
Mainland FAA Toastmasters Club and spoken to classes at the Walnut Street Center,
Mainland Regional High School and Atlantic City High School (the latter 2 as a member of
the FAATC Speakers Bureau). Management formally recognized my volunteer efforts at
teaching courses at FAATC for technical enrichment and introduction to PCs.
My philosophy in management is to stimulate the creative potential of people and to
welcome their efforts on behalf of the endeavor at hand.
