Russel Myers:

After graduation I met my wife Mary Ann while attending the VPI extension in Norfolk. I served in the Air Force from 1961 to 1965 as a Russian linguist. My last Air Force assignment was at the National Security Agency in Fort Meade, MD, where I accepted a job in federal civil service. While at NSA, I obtained a BA from the University of MD and an MS from The American University. In 1978 I moved back to VB where I retired from civil service in August 1997 as a Navy Intelligence Senior Executive (SES). Concurrent with my civil service career, I served in the Army Reserves for 23 years, retiring in 1996 as a Lieutenant Colonel. In 2007 I retired after 10 years as a defense contractor with General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems. We have four children and five granddaughters, all residing in the local area. We divide our time between a beach house in the Outer Banks of NC and a home in VB.
