Faculty:

Our regular faculty includes many of these persons, and also includes Stanley Puma, M.D.; Jan Buttermore, Adjunct Professor, San Bernardino Valley College; Robert Barden, Chief Master Sergeant, USAF (Ret); Captain Pablo X, USAF (the Captain's last name is withheld at the request of the Air Force because of the nature of his duty assignment); Keith Folkerts, P.E.; Conrad Nordquist, M.Div., and Norman Manary, competition aerobatic pilots; Robert Jordan; Robert Pieksma, USAF (Ret); and Robert Mauger, USAF (Ret).

You can email most of these people (not the emeritus) by adding their first name (use the short form -- "Tom" and "Bill" instead of "Thomas" and "William") -- to the address "@flabob.org," or "@wathencenter.org." If it bounces back, email John@flabob.org and we'll see that it gets where it is aimed.
