Carlen W. Forinash

I retired as a Lt Col on 9/1/79 after a total of 25.5 years. One year before full Col eligibility. Got a bachelors degree in 1966 and a master of science in 1968. Served as a Personnel Staff Officer from 1961 until retirement. Enjoyed the 4 years (68-72) at HQ USAFE the most--travelled all over Europe. Went to the Armed Forces Staff College in 1972. Worked at the AFPC on Randolph from Jan 73 to retirement. Have been in San Antonio since 73. Have worked as a personnel/human resource professional since that time. Have retired 4 times--last time was June 99--but have worked on 2 consulting jobs for a total of 5 months since then. It's nice working for the fun of it. Joanne, my wife, is still working as a controller for a small company. Our 3 kids are grown and we are now with 10 grandkids.
