I decided in 1979 I wanted more than that position had to offer and I returned to Adelphi, Full-Time on a Graduate Assistantship in the School of Business. This all came about thanks to Dr. Neale Kurlander, a former professor.. I actually worked 20 hours per week for 3 professors and I received FREE tuition for my MBA. After graduation I received an offer from American Express in Manhattan. Commuting to NYC was a challenge and I therefore decided to find employment on Long Island. After working for a few years for American Express, I received an offer to work for Nassau BOCES in Westbury. I was Assistant Manager of Accounting &amp; Insurance. After getting a promotion and working there for a few more years, I decided it was time to move on. I ended up working for the Freeport UFSD. It was there that I learned about how a school districts operates. I actually went back to school, CW Post, and received my Post Masters Degree in School Business Administration. I eventually became the School Business Official at the Elmont UFSD and I happily retired from there in 2013.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>My favorite Adelphi memory: <\/strong><span style=\"\">I went to Spain for two weeks with fellow classmate Phil Seid.

My experiences at Adelphi took me through the fields of photography, broadcasting, publishing, electronics, optics, early computers and some bumps in the road with administrators which involved politics. And that was just extra-curricular activities! Add the actual classes and this very geeky, nerdy kid ended up in Boston attending Optometry School. Fast forward through a career of 50 years and I am now semi-retired from my 80-year old Palmer Eyecare Center in Connecticut. We\u2019ve helped tens of thousands of people live better lives with great vision and enhanced perception with state-of-the-art imaging and diagnostic technologies. Optometry combines optics, perception, psychology, medicine and the ability to carefully interview patients to solve their vision problems. Along the way I\u2019ve built computers, created ad campaigns for print and radio, helped design and build (with professional builders) a home that won a national House of the Year Award for energy efficiency. I have met treasured lifelong friends through Adelphi. Social media brought many of us back together over the years. The faculty and fellow students who helped shape us into the individuals we turned out to be deserve a special thanks.

I initially took an Italian class because of my Italian heritage but was thrilled to find out that taking Italian with Prof. Giachetti was a lot more: it was an art, music, history, architecture and sociology class rolled into one. Romano made Italian come alive to his students, as I have tried to do during my teaching career. Following a fruitful career as instructor of college and advanced Italian and French at Somers High School, I am now teaching privately, either virtually or in-person at my home near Nashville, Tennessee.

That transfer, with the help of my BA, brought me into the prestigious Overseas Department of AT&amp;T where I was assigned to the team responsible for the planning and development of undersea cable systems in the Asia-Pacific region. Based in Bedminster, NJ, the position required extensive travel throughout Asia, negotiating with telecom carriers from Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Australia and New Zealand. European carriers were also part of these negotiations in order to secure bandwidth for their international traffic needs. As such, it would not be uncommon to find myself holding the position of secretary to a new cable&#8217;s management committee, often involving more than twenty carriers, while also ensuring AT&amp;T&#8217;s requirements were met. With the introduction of fiber-optic undersea cables in the mid 1980&#8217;s, I was privileged to be part of the negotiations of the first of these hi-tech systems, which connected the U.S. mainland to Hawaii, Guam and Japan. Today more than 600 undersea cable networks connect our world, together comprising the backbone of the global Internet. Upon my retirement from the telecommunications industry, my wife and I settled in Naples, Florida, where visits from our children and grandchildren are ongoing joyous events.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>My favorite Adelphi memory: <\/strong><span style=\"\">Meeting fellow night-school students and exchanging work-involved stories with classmates pursuing career advancements enhanced with their degree <\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Michael Gravesen \u201876<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"\">Michael L Gravesen 128 Waterside St Port Charlotte, FL 33954 cell # 941-391-1403 DOB July 6, 1954, in Memphis, TN while my father was in the USMC Grew up on dairy farm in central New York.

Together we raised two remarkable kids who\u2019ve grown into successful, grounded adults &#8211; our greatest pride. My 37-year career as a registered nurse shaped how I see the world, with compassion, resilience, and a deep respect for the human spirit. Outside the hospital, I chased finish lines and horizons. More than 50 marathons and ultramarathons, a full Ironman, and countless miles on multi-day cycling trips taught me endurance in all its forms. I\u2019ve found equal joy on the water as an outrigger canoe racer, and on foot across Spain and Italy during four mother-daughter Camino pilgrimages, each journey leaving its own imprint. Carrying the Olympic Torch, and later the Special Olympics torch, were humbling honors that reflected the power of community and perseverance. Serving as an Honor Flight guardian on two missions stands among the most meaningful of those experiences.
