Chris Cool AIS class of 1974 chris.cool@ngc.com

Chris Cool and family in 2006.

Lived in Delhi from 1967 through 1974 when I graduated from AES/AIS. Had lived in Kathmandu from 1961 to 1965 prior to that.

Went to Stanford University in California to swim for two years and then played varsity soccer and baseball while getting a Bachelors in Industrial Engineering (1979).

Went to work in Seattle, WA working for Boeing on the 747 and 767 programs while trying to play semi pro baseball.

Moved to Columbus OH in 1982 to work for Rockwell on the B-1B program.

Moved to Lancaster CA in 1983 and lived there 11 years while working first for Rockwell and switching to Northrop (now Northrop Grumman) in 1985 to go work on the B2 bomber program - my favourite job (so far).

Married in 1994. Got an MBA at UCLA in 1995.

Moved to Los Angeles in 1995 and stayed until 1997 when I relocated to Dallas Texas. Daughter and Son born during this time - they are Katie (Girl) and Cameron (Boy) (now 10 and 8 years old).

Divorced in 2001 moved to Florida in 2002 with the kids - yes a Mr. Mom, be nice.

Chris Cool with his children in 2005.

Relocated to Fountain Valley CA in July 2004, still the sectors Vice President of Operational Excellence (Lean/Six Sigma) although I am now moving into the Affordability world (cut cut cut) with Northrop Grumman and still trying to play baseball but mostly coaching soccer, referee and part time golfer now as well as keeping up with the kids and their sports (Baseball and Soccer, my daughter was the only girl on her team and hit .330 this spring, what can I say, my son is the pitcher - both play piano) while running a house, keeping the kids educated, a dog and cat alive, maintaining a healthy life running in circles staying sane enough to enjoy life - which I do.

I often wonder what's going on with my 10th grade best friend Doug Newberg and I stay in touch with Maxine Malone(now Lauriston), Angela Warwick (now Saunders), Megan Murphy (the beautiful candle lady), Nancy Williams (now West), and Mary Flanagan (now Williamson). My parents are doing well living in Vienna, Virginia and my brother Jonathan lives nearby in Great Falls. My sister Jenny and I are the two Californians.
