Kit Letchworth

Perseverance and hard work have paid off for Kit Letchworth '87. The Vice President of 3-G International, Inc. manages the day-to-day operations of the rapidly growing company's technology headquarters in Williamsburg.

Shortly after graduating from Christopher Newport University with a degree in computer engineering, Letchworth was hired as an entry level programmer at Syscon in Williamsburg.

"I recall someone holding up a pro-totype smart card in a meeting," said Letchworth. "They described it as a com-puter inside of a card and asked for suggestions on how to use it." Smart cards are devices used to store and manage valuable information, process transactions, authenticate and identify users and access networks or buildings all from something the size of a credit card.

Letchworth studied the idea and worked on the project. Despite his first business plan being re-jected, he continued to

Kit Letchworth '87

talked with Tom Gregg, the president and CEO of 3GI about their ideas. Gregg eagerly brought the two on board his company to help diversify his business.

Operating out of a spare room in Letchworth's home, Barr and

Letchworth began a smart card divi-sion. They hired two CNU graduates to complete the project - JeffOkuhara '94 and Chris Ware '93. "They worked fifteen hour days, seven days a week," said Letchworth.

"We pulled it off and deliv-ered the project

work fervently on the project during his off time. Together with the help of his friend and current business associate, Tom Barr, the duo developed ideas that were accepted by the U.S. mili-tary. Not only did Syscon give Letchworth and Barr the green

light, but the two were promoted and pro-vided a staff to research the development of smart cards.

After two and a half years of work on the project, Syscon closed its research and development division. Letchworth and Barr were not about to give up and

since been pro-moted from implementation specialist to implementation manager and Okuhara is now the technical manager for 3GI's European operations.

Two years later, smart cards became an integral part of 3GT's mission. Since then, 3GI has become one of the fastest

growing technology companies in the U.S. It has emerged as a world class or-ganization of smart card technologists and systems developers and is now the largest smart card integrator and smart card software company in North America. Today, it provides smart card solutions to the banking, government, health care, computer hardware, elec-tronic commerce and software indus-tries.

In its first year of eligibility, 3GI entered the Inc. 500 at 135. In addition, DeLoitte and Touche named 3GI the J341h fastest growing technology com-pany in the country and the fifth fastest growing technology company in Virginia.

During the past eight years Letchworth has hired more than twenty CNU graduates. "Graduates from CNU are ready and well prepared to come to work for me as entry level programmers - in fact, they ' re the best we have," said Letchworth. "CNU students are our stars. For example, Del Putnam '95 was first hired as a programmer. He is now the director of new products and over-sees all the commercial aspects of the company."

The 3GJ CNU Team

Judy Jennings '85, is Letchworth's office manager. Jennings manages the administrative staff and personnel issues., She also designed the interior of 3GI's current quarters and is designing the company's new office space across the street. The new office, which will be three times as large, will be in use by 2000.

Letchworth says managing the company's growth has been challeng-ing. The technology headquarters out-grew its four year plan in just one year. "We want to remain the premiere inte-grator of smart card technology in the world," said Letchworth. "The market is going to explode."

"My goal is to make this the best place in the world to work and I mean it," said Letchworth. "We want all the resumes we can get."

Martin Buoncristiani

Before 1994, Martin Buoncristiani, Jr. 84 had never surfed the net. This spring, the President and Owner of Com-munication Ventures, an Internet-based small business in Oyster Point celebrated his fourth year in business. The small Internet service provider does web page design, and develops custom software and web-based applications that allow

•

businesses to utilize the Internet more ef-ficiently.

After surfing the net four years ago with his father, Martin Buoncristiani, professor of physics and computer sci-ence at CNU, the younger Buoncristiani decided to venture out on his own. "I spent six hours surfing the Internet," re-called Buoncristiani . "As I did, I realized that it was going to change the world."

One instigating factor for Buoncristiani 's interest in the Internet, was an article he came across about some high school students in the United States and Moscow during the time of the revolution in 1995. "The students were having a " real time," on-line conversation about what was going on at the very time Yeltsin was standing on the tanks. I realized that not too long ago, the students would have waited a long time to receive this kind of information or it would have been very filtered if they

Martin Buoncristiani, J1: '84

even heard it at all. But here they were talking in "real time" to their counterparts around the world.

"What the Internet does is provide a means of instantaneous world-wide communication. It 's not unlike when the printing press was invented ," Buoncristiani stated.

Buoncristiani left his job as regional sales manager for Eastern Telecom, now Eclipse Communications to start his own business. He began going door to door in Oyster Point selling websites for $99, when few people even knew what a website was.

Buoncristiani started his business with $3000 from an income tax return. Since then, the company in partnership with Xeren Technologies, has accumu-lated more than $200,000 in hardware and manages a customer base of more than 500.

Recently, Buoncristiani beat out sev-eral Fortune 500 companies to win a contract for a network based, facility management program with the Gloucester County School System. FACTRAC 2000 allows the school system to electronically manage its entire operation - school buses, locks and keys, building maintenance, supplies and inventory, and classroom books.

"A teacher can put in a work order to change a light bulb at a computer terminal at her desk ," explains Buoncristiani. "It checks the inventory to make sure the light bulb is in stock and sends a message to the supervisor who authorizes it. Then, it sends a work order to the maintenance personnel who accomplishes the task." In addition, Buoncristiani says, the system tracks energy usage in buildings, and tire rota-tion and vehicle mileage on school buses.

Since implementing FACTRAC 2000 in the Gloucester Schools, Buoncristiani has been approached by several other school systems in the area.

Buoncristiani is currently working on developing an internet-based solution for accounting and electronic commerce. The entrepreneur is excited about the future of his business. "We will be solidly in the web-based software industry continuing to develop new tools, trying to stay on the cutting edge of tech-

5 ..

nology, and I hope spinning off several new web ventures and software prod-ucts once they ' re developed ," said Buoncristiani . "One of the things 1 have learned through experience, is there are so many things on the Internet you re-ally have to discipline yourself to focus on your strong points."

Kenny Roberts

Kenny Roberts '82

H e is an expert on electronic commerce and for the past four years has helped educate many businesses on the importance of doing business via the Internet. Kenny Roberts '82 , worked his way up the ranks from co-op student in the Opera-tions Department oflnformation Services at Newport News Shipbuilding (NNS) to his current position as Program Administrator for Information Services.

At Newport News Shipbuilding, Roberts has worked in a number of departments in the company doing application programming, computer aided design and computer aided manufactur-ing (CAD-CAM development), internal audits, data resource management, and maintaining the company's profit and loss application. In 1993, he was instrumen-tal in developing an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) environment at NNS after reading an article about EDI in a trade publication.

"Most people hadn't even heard of EDI yet," said Roberts. "We created a committee, found out what EDI was and how we could use it to start paying our suppliers electronically."

Roberts attended a few conferences and then managed, with the help of a committee, to sell the idea to a vice presi-dent who provided a budget of $10,000 to implement the EDI concepts.

~ 6

Roberts received a donated personal computer and negotiated with vendors to purchase the hardware, software and encryption tools needed to implement the EDI environment. The new environment was up and running in the Fall of 1994. By the end of the year, the department was generating savings. Using electronic commerce, Roberts was able to cut the cost of paying suppliers by check from $3.33 to 82 cents. The cost of placing a purchase order dropped from six dollars to three dollars - that alone saved Newport News Shipbuilding $300,000 in one year!

ln 1997, Roberts purchased a full functioning EDI system called GENTRAN that includes multiple serv-ers with test and production capability. Roberts' EDI project grew from one to six people and his operating budget increased as well.

Motivated by this success, Roberts became an ardent backer of electronic commerce. He was instrumental in developing the partnerships between Newport News Shipbuilding and SEVAnet at CNU, and Virginia's Center for Innovative Technology and Bell Atlantic, and helped establish the South-eastern Virginia Electronic Commerce/ Electronic Data Interchange Forum. The forum, for Hampton Roads businesses, promotes the paperless exchange ofbusi-ness and technical information.

An idea, which began as a way to persuade Newport News Shipbuilding suppliers to do business electronically,

grew. The forum consistently attracts more than 75 business men and women at its luncheons.

Suppliers for Newport News Shipbuilding can now send quotes to the company electronically with the help of a web page designed by SEVAnet. Roberts hopes to add the ability to send Request for Quotes (RFQ's) and pur-chase orders to this web process. This is being done as a joint project between Newport News Shipbuilding and CNU's VECTEC Program.

More than 200 suppliers for Newport News Shipbuilding are now EDI capable. Roberts hopes to add more than 2,000 to that list within the next twelve to eighteen months.

Newport News Shipbuilding is in the midst of several electronic commerce projects including: the government funded Maritech ASE program, the National Industrial Information Internet Protocol program and the Marine Machinery Association. During the past two years, Roberts participated in an effort headed up by the United Nations to develop a universal standard for exchanging prod-uct model data. This was done through the International Standards Organization (ISO). The ISO is a global, industry-led program addressing the standard description and digital exchange of product information. Standard for the Exchange of Product Model Data (STEP) is the name commonly used for the major standard development process within the ISO.

Roberts also manages the student co-op program in the Information Services division. He redesigned and implemented the program in 1996 with the cooperation of five local universities including CNU. Currently, more than twenty students participate in the program.

Roberts serves on the Common-wealth's Joint Commission on Technology and Science (JCOTS) Committee and the Hampton Roads Technology Board. He is also an advisor for the Commonwealth's Council of Information Management and for the Center for Innovative Technology, and a charter member of the VECTEC Steering Committee. IIJ

ALUMNI PRESIDENT'S CORNER

Dear Friends,

It has been a busy winter and spring for the University and the Alumni Society. Alumni scholarshjps were awarded to five CNU students. Diane Hanger received the James F. Draper Scholarship; Bernell Sharrod, the Freshman Scholarship; Kelly Payne and Richard Ross, the Graduate School Scholarship; and Joseph Haughwout, the Honors Scholarship. We extend warm wishes to each of the scholarship recipients!

In February, I had the privilege of representing the alumni at the groundbreaking for the Sports and Convocation Center. After the groundbreaking, we enjoyed a Homecoming buffet for alumni and guests.

In April, the Alumni thoroughly enjoyed another theatre outing at Norfolk's Chrysler Hall, this time to see Phantom of the Opera. For a second time, tickets to the show sold-out! Earlier in the year, we watched CNU's production of Cabaret - one of the best I have ever seen! The new Super Speaker Series was also well attended. Don't forget, a]umnj receive discounts on their tickets.

In addition, board members and alumni represented the Society at the "Senior Salute" for graduating seniors. We talked with prospective students at CNU's Open Houses. Members of the incoming freshman class will receive a letter of congratula-tions from the Alumni Society.

Alumni stepped back into time for an evening at "The Cotton Club" as jazz, rhythm and blues artist Jean Carne sang many Duke Ellington favorites during the second annual Ella Fitzgerald Music Festival. We celebrated the final evening of the festival with our Annual Dinner and then enjoyed two jazz greats - Diane Schuur and Ramsey Lewis. I hope you were able to listen to some of the great performers throughout the week.

At the Annual Dinner we presented several outstanding alumni awards and announced our new board members. Once again, we had a full house for our Annual Dinner. We also sponsored a sold out performance by the Battlefield Band - a wonderful evening of Scottish music. It is great to see so much involvement in the Society.

In May, the Alumni Board gave each graduate a lapel pin with the new Alunmi Society logo on it. Look for the new logo on T-shirts, caps and golf shirts. The proceeds from the sale of these items will benefit your Alumni Society. Also, remem-ber the CNU alumni credit card can bring funds to the University.

I hope you took a few minutes to fill out the CNU alumni survey. The Society needs to hear from you so we can plan events to involve you with your fellow alumni.

It has been a pleasure serving as your Alumni Society President. Thank you for a wonderful year. Best wishes to incoming President Yvonne McCoy!

KATHY ABBOTT Super Star of Modem Aeronautics

Kathy Abbott '78 stands as a giant in her field. Dr. Abbott's leadership on a number of research and study teams has advanced the field of aeronautics.

Last year, she was recognized by NASA as one of the top experts in mod-em aeronautics, and also named AIAA Hampton Roads Section 1998 Engineer of the Year. Three times during her career she has been awarded NASA's Special Achievement Award, and in 1995, she received NASA's Outstanding Lead-ership Medal. This spring, Abbott was awarded CNU's Distinguished Alumni Award.

As National Resource Specialist with the Federal Aviation Administration for Flight Deck Human Factors, Abbott serves as the chief scientific and techni-cal advisor to the FAA. She is also an FAA liaison to industry and other gov-ernment and international agencies deal-ing with flight deck human factors.

Abbott moved her way up the ranks from humble beginnings- first by work-ing her way through college. She worked as a waitress in the evenings while pur-suing a double major in mathematics and science at CNU during the day.

Abbott's unique skills were instantly recognized as an asset to a NASA Lan-gley contractor in 1978. She began working in real time simulation of airplanes and developed a very strong interest in aeronautics. In 1980, NASA Langley Research Center hired her to conduct research in crew systems and operations.

In 1990, Abbott was asked to serve on a review team to critique the flight deck of the Boeing 777 before it was completed. During the same period, Dr. Abbott was the principal researcher for the diagnostic portion of Faultfinder, a concept for aiding flight crews in man-aging aircraft system faults. This project received Research & Development magazine's R & D JOOAward as one of 1991 's top 100 technical innovations.

In 1991, Abbott was promoted to branch manager for NASA's Human/ Automation Integration Branch in the

Flight Management Division. Two years later, she was accepted into a senior management development program and took a three month assignment with the FAA in Seattle, Washington . There, she developed a long-range plan for the FAA to develop a certification basis for High-Speed Civil Transport aircraft.

After completing the assignment, Abbott was asked to co-chair an FAA team to review accidents that were hap-pening to modern airplanes. Most of these accidents seemed to center on the pilot interacting with the automated system.

Abbott's team analyzed a series of accidents and identified safety issues. Their recommendations were published by the FAA in a major report, The Inter-faces Between Flightcrews and Modern Flight Deck Systems. in June of 1996.

The report findings are now widely used by most of the major airlines in the U.S. and Europe, and as a result have changed training procedures. Aviation Week and Space Technology li sted the report's recommendation s as the number two safety priority to improve aviation safety.

Shortly after releasing the aviation report, Abbott was asked to accept a new assignment with the FAA in the National Resource Specialist Program. In that role Abbott is the chief scientific and techni-cal advisor for Flight Deck Human

Factors. Two and a half years into her five-year assignment, Abbott is excited about her work.

"One thing I like most about what I do - and one of the most important things is - it is very multidisciplinary," said Abbott. "I have to cross many different areas and pull together information to solve problems and improve safety - and that is a challenge."

Abbott's position involves extensive travel throughout Europe, South America, and Central America. During a recent business trip, she traveled to Toulousen, France and reviewed Airbus' work in flight deck human factors and learned about the new technology they are putting into flight decks. At her second stop in Basel, Switzerland, Abbott shared aviation safety lessons with members of the medical and aviation industries in a seminar on risk manage-ment by Swiss Air and the Medical School at the University of Basel.

Abbott says a lot of work remains to be done. "My goal for this assignment is to get human factors incorporated into the regulatory processes and standards," said Abbott. "I want to help make that happen."

Dr. Abbott holds a Ph.D. in Com-puter Science from Rutgers University and a M.S. in Computer Science from George Washington University. )~
