Tara Meyers - Curran
I am married to Michael Curran, a teacher
in a wonderful private
school. I have a 28-year old son, Dr
Michael A. Curran, a medical
researcher who did gene therapy at Stanford
University and is now doing
cancer research at Berkeley University. I
have a 24-year old daughter,
Jennifer, who works for DigitalNation, a
Verio company, doing web hosting.
She's been thinking about going back to teaching
Latin and classical studies
(which is what her degree is in). She
just got engaged 4 Jul. I have
worked at the Pentagon since 1964, except
for two years, one of which was
spent in Florida, where my son was born.
I was a programmer/analyst until
1984, when I started doing management functions.
I also do our contracting
(very big area in government now). The US
goes to war using a computer
system called the Global Command and Control
System. My office supports the
HQ Air Force wartime planners and executors
who rely on this system.
