ABU RIZVI continues to work at the
U VT and lives in Burlington. Looking
forward to seeing WS alums in the US,
India or wherever. PAUL HACKNEY
moved to Kabul, Afghanistan where he
works with the UN, flying VIPs around
the country. He was also able to visit
Cairo during a UN flight and enjoyed
seeing their wonderful historic treasures
first hand. Delhi is a 2-hr flight from
Kabul so has visited friends and family
in India regularly. One of the downsides
to living in Kabul is not being able to
do much personal flying so my hang
glider is stored in the States collecting
dust. Daughter Heidi graduated uni

counseling, moving to NYC soon; son
Jason is completing degrees in theater
