This is a site to summarize the status of the Weiss family. A chronological account of the family - since 1986 is available as well as an account of a few remembered accounts. The former is at: http://weisschronicles.blogspot.com/ The latter is at: http://before1986.blogspot.com/
These two images were taken in Morristown NJ on Dec 11, 2011.
Besides myself and Ann, there are:
- George Washington (on the right),
- Alexander Hamilton (on the left),
- and a messenger from the Marquis de LaFayette (only visible in the image with Ann but w/o me).
According to local tradition, a meeting of these three took place near Morristown in 1780 (Morristown was effectively the military capital of the American States during the Revolutionary war).
I was employed by the Federal Highway Administration from the mid 70s to 2008. I did work in many subject areas over this time but am probably known most for managing one of the big discretionary programs, for creating Interstate designation content and for research and management in the area of highway economic development. I did other things over the years: e.g., taught people in the FHWA how to play the card game called "schafskoft", raised a family, served in the US Navy reserves, served on the board of various civic and religious organizations. My daughter lives in Israel and the rest of the family have visited there many times.
