Dr. John Cherniavsky, who attended
attended our 25th reunion, sent the following
on June 24, 1997: "Just found the page while surfing the net. Wonderful job! Some update information. I'm now at the National Science Foundation in Arlington Virginia. I'm a Division Director for the Office of Cross Disciplinary Activities in the Computer, Information Science, and Engineering Directorate. It turns out that Bob Wintsch is at the National Science Foundation this year also - just found out due to some phone calling for a DC reunion. He's a geologist. The reunion phone calling revealed 6 - 1965 alumni in the Washington DC area. That's about 10% of the class. One other coincidence, Brian Hearn lives on the same floor of the same apartment building that I live in."

| John married Maria Zemankova on August 3, 1996. The photo shows them during their honeymoon in Prague. |

| In December,
1997, John wrote again to say, "Maria
and I did a wonderful trip to Peru and the Inca trails to
Manchu Piccu this August/September. Highly recommended
(and cheap if you book the porters, etc. in
Cuzco). Maria's hiked in the Himalayas and said
that it reminded her a bit of that experience. The Andes
are an impressively young range of mountains with
correspondingly steep slopes and deep valleys. We also
stayed at a ecological research station on a tributary of
the Amazon in a Peruvian National forest - again a
wonderful experience.... We had Thanksgiving with Rob Wintsch and discussed our mutual experiences at HGS." September, 1999: "I am now Senior Advisor for Research, Education and Human Resources Directorate, National Science Foundation." |

John...is in the Education Directorate of teh National Science Foundation working on programs that have a learning technology component. The challenge in science education is how to ensure that the U.S. produces an internationally competitive next generation of scientists and engineers. John and his wife, Maria, built a house hear DC and then sold it when Maria found it to be too big for them! Their son, Peter, is just entering second grade. "Being an older parent keeps you much younger. (Who thought I would be doing Cub Scouts at my age?). |
