Marcus Brown - Newsletter Editor

I started my FAA career as a Flight Service specialist, followed by becoming a tower controller, then advancing to a Radar Approach Control. My last position in the field was an automation specialist where I had the duty of keeping the computers updated and running for the air traffic controllers. I finished up my FAA career as a staff specialist at Headquarters, and retired in 2010 with 43 happy years of government service. The NBCFAE has been a part of my life since becoming a member in the early 80’s, and I plan to stay active through my retirement. I have three daughters, three son-in-laws, and six grandchildren all within a short driving distance that keep life exciting for me and my wife, Juanita.
