whole other story in itself! We got stationed in Gulfport, MS; got
divorced here; and here I stayed. My parents are gone so it's just me
and my sister now. They were in Orlando, that's why I moved there. They
got orders to Gulfport a year after us and her husband retired here. I
just got done working for the Navy as a Civilian Federal Employee after
19 years. I'm now looking for another job! I am a Hurricane Katrina
survivor. Yes, we rode the storm out; we are only about 8 miles from the
gulf. That was the longest 12 hours of our lives! We sustained minimal
damage, which is a miracle. I tell you what...another one comes like
that, I'm out of here! I'd love to hear from everyone, so keep in touch!

Michael Fastuca
Drumline/Baritone 1967-1976
My initial Saints
enrollment was in the Drum Line and I then moved to Baritone (1968). I
left the Corps in 1976 and relocated to Virginia in what was the
beginning of a very interesting career. After a tour in our main
headquarters, I moved to England in 1980 where most of my time was spent
traveling throughout Europe. I returned to a position in Virginia in
1983 which provided the opportunity to travel to Europe, Africa, South
West Pacific and South America. I left Virginia in 1988 for Australia
and returned to Virginia in 1991. I had numerous tours within Northern
Virginia which provided the opportunity to visit a number of locations
in the US. In 1998 I left for the Western Pacific where I spent a couple
years and returned to Virginia in December 2000. I had another tour of
service in the Washington, D.C. area and then retired from government
service December 2001. I have since hired on as an Associate with the
consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton.
What a great time we had growing from a parade corps to a highly
competitive corps in the DCI! I sure do miss that period of time. It was
great to see so many of the family at the initial reunion in NJ last
year and I am looking forward to seeing everyone at the next reunion!
