Wayne Shaw

After graduation from THSV, I attended Indiana University (mainly because that's where the love of my life, Dana Jessell went) and began a tortured "5 Year Plan" eventually graduating with a BS in chemistry from Indiana State University. I also was in Air Force ROTC and was commissioned as a 2Lt in May 1987 and began a 22-year US Air Force career. I was a navigator/electronic warfare officer (EWO) and was qualified in the B-52, B-1, F-111E, EF-111, and the Navy EA-6B (including being carrier qualified on the USS Constellation). I flew combat missions over Bosnia and Iraq ultimately earning 2 Bronze Stars, 4 Air Medals, and many other military decorations. After retiring from the USAF in 2009, I began a 10-year career at Booz Allen Hamilton ultimately becoming the top Booz Allen contractor at 24th AF/AFCYBER. I went back to Electronic Warfare for a bit as the PM and Site Lead for Alion Science & Technology getting a new technical effort (JEMSIAF) off the ground at the Joint EW Center. Then I took a promotion to become a VP at a small company which unfortunately didn't last long. Now I am a "Principal Consultant for Aerospace & Defense" at Frost & Sullivan (frost.com). I was married to the THSV Valedictorian, Class of 1984 for 30 years and we had one daughter together. She is now a very successful Literary Agent living in Orlando, FL with her husband and her cat. I am now also a Type 1 Diabetic as a result of developing pancreatitis in 2014. At the time, I was serving as the volunteer CEO/President of the professional association for Electronic Warfare, the Association of Old Crows (www.crows.org). I am still serving on its Board of Directors and make frequent trips to Washington, DC for board meetings and the annual AOC Convention. At this point in my life, I consider myself lucky to be alive after my 6 months in the hospital in 2014 due to pancreatitis and am making the most of every day. I am using my Post 9/11 G.I. Bill to earn a Ph.D. in Leadership Studies at a San Antonio University. I am 8 years until I reach Full Retirement Age (67) but based on how well I have invested over the years, I may retire earlier. I have fond, fond memories of my high school years at Terre Haute South Vigo and hope to one day make it to a reunion. Sorry to all those who might have wished to see me at a reunion in the past. It is on "the list." I have no doubt that on my deathbed someday, I will be seeing scenes of Terre Haute South Vigo, and Dana flash before my eyes.
