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.
