and systems developers and is now the
largest smart card integrator and smart
card software company in North
America. Today, it provides smart card
solutions to the banking, government,
health care, computer hardware, electronic commerce and software industries.
In its first year of eligibility, 3GI
entered the Inc. 500 at 135. In addition,
DeLoitte and Touche named 3GI the
J341h fastest growing technology company in the country and the fifth fastest
growing technology company in Virginia.
During the past eight years
Letchworth has hired more than twenty
CNU graduates. "Graduates from CNU
are ready and well prepared to come to
work for me as entry level programmers
- in fact, they ' re the best we have," said
Letchworth. "CNU students are our
stars. For example, Del Putnam '95 was
first hired as a programmer. He is now
the director of new products and oversees all the commercial aspects of the
company."
The 3GJ CNU Team
Judy Jennings '85, is Letchworth's
office manager. Jennings manages the
administrative staff and personnel issues.,

She also designed the interior of 3GI's
current quarters and is designing the
company's new office space across the
street. The new office, which will be
three times as large, will be in use by
2000.
Letchworth says managing the
company's growth has been challenging. The technology headquarters outgrew its four year plan in just one year.
"We want to remain the premiere integrator of smart card technology in the
world," said Letchworth. "The market
is going to explode."

businesses to utilize the Internet more efficiently.
After surfing the net four years ago
with his father, Martin Buoncristiani,
professor of physics and computer science at CNU, the younger Buoncristiani
decided to venture out on his own. "I
spent six hours surfing the Internet," recalled Buoncristiani. "As I did, I realized
that it was going to change the world."
One instigating factor for
Buoncristiani 's interest in the Internet,
was an article he came across about
some high school students in the United
States and Moscow during the time of
the revolution in 1995 . "The students
were having a " real time," on-line
conversation about what was going on
at the very time Yeltsin was standing on
the tanks. I realized that not too long ago,
the students would have waited a long
time to receive this kind of information
or it would have been very filtered if they

even heard it at all. But here they were
talking in "real time" to their counterparts
around the world.
" What the Internet does is provide a
means of instantaneous world-wide
communication. It 's not unlike when
the printing press was invented ,"
Buoncristiani stated.
Buoncristiani left his job as regional
sales manager for Eastern Telecom, now
Eclipse Communications to start his own
business. He began going door to door
in Oyster Point selling websites for $99,
when few people even knew what a
website was.
Buoncristiani started his business
with $3000 from an income tax return.
Since then, the company in partnership
with Xeren Technologies, has accumulated more than $200,000 in hardware
and manages a customer base of more
than 500.
Recently, Buoncristiani beat out several Fortune 500 companies to win a
contract for a network based, facility
management program with the
Gloucester County School System.
FACTRAC 2000 allows the school
system to electronically manage its
entire operation - school buses, locks and
keys, building maintenance, supplies and
inventory, and classroom books.
"A teacher can put in a work order
to change a light bulb at a computer
terminal at her desk ," explains
Buoncristiani. "It checks the inventory
to make sure the light bulb is in stock
and sends a message to the supervisor
who authorizes it. Then, it sends a work
order to the maintenance personnel who
accomplishes the task." In addition,
Buoncristiani says, the system tracks
energy usage in buildings, and tire rotation and vehicle mileage on school buses.
Since implementing FACTRAC 2000
in the Gloucester Schools, Buoncristiani
has been approached by several other
school systems in the area.
Buoncristiani is currently working on
developing an internet-based solution for
accounting and electronic commerce.
The entrepreneur is excited about the
future of his business. "We will be
solidly in the web-based software
industry continuing to develop new tools,
trying to stay on the cutting edge of tech5
.
nology, and I hope spinning off several
new web ventures and software products once they ' re developed ," said
Buoncristiani. "One of the things 1 have
learned through experience, is there are
so many things on the Internet you really have to discipline yourself to
focus on your strong points."
Kenny Roberts
Kenny Roberts '82
H
e is an expert on electronic
commerce and for the past four
years has helped educate many
businesses on the importance of doing
business via the Internet. Kenny
Roberts '82 , worked his way up the
ranks from co-op student in the Operations Department oflnformation Services
at Newport News Shipbuilding (NNS)
to his current position as Program
Administrator for Information Services.
At Newport News Shipbuilding,
Roberts has worked in a number of
departments in the company doing
application programming, computer aided
design and computer aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM development), internal
audits, data resource management, and
maintaining the company's profit and loss
application. In 1993, he was instrumental in developing an Electronic Data
Interchange (EDI) environment at NNS
after reading an article about EDI in a
trade publication.
"Most people hadn't even heard of
EDI yet," said Roberts. "We created a
committee, found out what EDI was and
how we could use it to start paying our
suppliers electronically."
Roberts attended a few conferences
and then managed, with the help of a
committee, to sell the idea to a vice president who provided a budget of $10,000
to implement the EDI concepts.
~

Roberts received a donated personal
computer and negotiated with vendors
to purchase the hardware, software and
encryption tools needed to implement the
EDI environment. The new environment
was up and running in the Fall of 1994.
By the end of the year, the department
was generating savings. Using electronic
commerce, Roberts was able to cut the
cost of paying suppliers by check from
$3.33 to 82 cents. The cost of placing a
purchase order dropped from six dollars
to three dollars - that alone saved
Newport News Shipbuilding $300,000 in
one year!
ln 1997, Roberts purchased a full
functioning EDI system called
GENTRAN that includes multiple servers with test and production capability.
Roberts' EDI project grew from one to
six people and his operating budget
increased as well.
Motivated by this success, Roberts
became an ardent backer of electronic
commerce. He was instrumental in
developing the partnerships between
Newport News Shipbuilding and
SEVAnet at CNU, and Virginia's Center
for Innovative Technology and Bell
Atlantic, and helped establish the Southeastern Virginia Electronic Commerce/
Electronic Data Interchange Forum. The
forum, for Hampton Roads businesses,
promotes the paperless exchange ofbusiness and technical information.
An idea, which began as a way to
persuade Newport News Shipbuilding
suppliers to do business electronically,
(

CNU's Center for Business & Technology. The

grew. The forum consistently attracts
more than 75 business men and women
at its luncheons.
Suppliers for Newport News
Shipbuilding can now send quotes to the
company electronically with the help of
a web page designed by SEVAnet.
Roberts hopes to add the ability to send
Request for Quotes (RFQ's) and purchase orders to this web process. This
is being done as a joint project between
Newport News Shipbuilding and CNU's
VECTEC Program.
More than 200 suppliers for
Newport News Shipbuilding are now
EDI capable. Roberts hopes to add more
than 2,000 to that list within the next
twelve to eighteen months.
Newport News Shipbuilding is in the
midst of several electronic commerce
projects including: the government funded
Maritech ASE program, the National
Industrial Information Internet Protocol
program and the Marine Machinery
Association. During the past two years,
Roberts participated in an effort headed
up by the United Nations to develop a
universal standard for exchanging product model data. This was done through
the International Standards Organization
(ISO). The ISO is a global, industry-led
program addressing the standard
description and digital exchange of
product information. Standard for the
Exchange of Product Model Data (STEP)
is the name commonly used for the major
standard development process within the
ISO.
Roberts also manages the student
co-op program in the Information
Services division. He redesigned and
implemented the program in 1996 with
the cooperation of five local universities
including CNU. Currently, more than
twenty students participate in the
program.
Roberts serves on the Commonwealth's Joint Commission on
Technology and Science (JCOTS)
Committee and the Hampton Roads
Technology Board. He is also an advisor
for the Commonwealth's Council of
Information Management and for the
Center for Innovative Technology, and a
charter member of the VECTEC Steering
Committee. IIJ

and the Alumni Society. Alumni scholarshjps were awarded
to five CNU students. Diane Hanger received the James F.
Draper Scholarship; Bernell Sharrod, the Freshman
Scholarship; Kelly Payne and Richard Ross, the Graduate
School Scholarship; and Joseph Haughwout, the Honors
Scholarship. We extend warm wishes to each of the scholarship recipients!
In February, I had the privilege of representing the alumni at the groundbreaking
for the Sports and Convocation Center. After the groundbreaking, we enjoyed a
Homecoming buffet for alumni and guests.
In April, the Alumni thoroughly enjoyed another theatre outing at Norfolk's
Chrysler Hall, this time to see Phantom ofthe Opera. For a second time, tickets to the
show sold-out! Earlier in the year, we watched CNU's production of Cabaret - one
of the best I have ever seen! The new Super Speaker Series was also well attended.
Don't forget, a]umnj receive discounts on their tickets.
In addition, board members and alumni represented the Society at the "Senior
Salute" for graduating seniors. We talked with prospective students at CNU's Open
Houses. Members of the incoming freshman class will receive a letter of congratulations from the Alumni Society.
Alumni stepped back into time for an evening at "The Cotton Club" as jazz,
rhythm and blues artist Jean Carne sang many Duke Ellington favorites during the
second annual Ella Fitzgerald Music Festival. We celebrated the final evening of the
festival with our Annual Dinner and then enjoyed two jazz greats - Diane Schuur
and Ramsey Lewis. I hope you were able to listen to some of the great performers
throughout the week.
At the Annual Dinner we presented several outstanding alumni awards and
announced our new board members. Once again, we had a full house for our Annual
Dinner. We also sponsored a sold out performance by the Battlefield Band - a
wonderful evening of Scottish music. It is great to see so much involvement in the
Society.
In May, the Alumni Board gave each graduate a lapel pin with the new Alunmi
Society logo on it. Look for the new logo on T-shirts, caps and golf shirts. The
proceeds from the sale of these items will benefit your Alumni Society. Also, remember the CNU alumni credit card can bring funds to the University.
I hope you took a few minutes to fill out the CNU alumni survey. The Society
needs to hear from you so we can plan events to involve you with your fellow
alumni.
It has been a pleasure serving as your Alumni Society President. Thank you for a
wonderful year. Best wishes to incoming President Yvonne McCoy!
Best Wishes,
Bill Sharkey

BEQUESTS
The most powerful ally
you 'II ever have
Bequests are the powerhouses of
your will. With properly worded
bequests, you can have the last word
on what happens to your assets
after your death. You can arrange
for the care of your family, dictate
who receives what and in which
form and amount, even support nonprofit programs. We would like to
help you make your will the
effective document it's meant to be.
"Unleashing the Power of
Bequests" is a comprehensive yet
simply written booklet that
discusses bequests and what you
can do with them. You can learn
which type of bequest is appropriate for a particular circumstance and
how to avoid problems that can arise
when you fail to consider such things
as inflation and stock market
fluctuations. For your free copy,

KATHY ABBOTT
Super Star of Modem Aeronautics
Kathy Abbott '78 stands as a giant
in her field. Dr. Abbott's leadership on a
number of research and study teams has
advanced the field of aeronautics.
Last year, she was recognized by
NASA as one of the top experts in modem aeronautics, and also named AIAA
Hampton Roads Section 1998 Engineer
of the Year. Three times during her
career she has been awarded NASA's
Special Achievement Award, and in 1995,
she received NASA's Outstanding Leadership Medal. This spring, Abbott was
awarded CNU's Distinguished Alumni
Award.
As National Resource Specialist with
the Federal Aviation Administration for
Flight Deck Human Factors, Abbott
serves as the chief scientific and technical advisor to the FAA. She is also an
FAA liaison to industry and other government and international agencies dealing with flight deck human factors.
Abbott moved her way up the ranks
from humble beginnings- first by working her way through college. She worked
as a waitress in the evenings while pursuing a double major in mathematics and
science at CNU during the day.
Abbott's unique skills were instantly
recognized as an asset to a NASA Langley contractor in 1978. She began
working in real time simulation of
airplanes and developed a very strong
interest in aeronautics. In 1980, NASA
Langley Research Center hired her to
conduct research in crew systems and
operations.
In 1990, Abbott was asked to serve
on a review team to critique the flight
deck of the Boeing 777 before it was
completed. During the same period, Dr.
Abbott was the principal researcher for
the diagnostic portion of Faultfinder, a
concept for aiding flight crews in managing aircraft system faults. This project
received Research & Development
magazine's R & D JOOAward as one of
1991 's top 100 technical innovations.
In 1991, Abbott was promoted to
branch manager for NASA's Human/
Automation Integration Branch in the
.... 14
Abbott sits on the deck of the NASA Langley Research Centers 757 Research Simulator - one of
several flight deck simulators at the com hi ned motionfacility.
Flight Management Division. Two years
later, she was accepted into a senior
management development program and
took a three month assignment with the
FAA in Seattle, Washington . There, she
developed a long-range plan for the FAA
to develop a certification basis for HighSpeed Civil Transport aircraft.
After completing the assignment,
Abbott was asked to co-chair an FAA
team to review accidents that were happening to modern airplanes. Most of
these accidents seemed to center on the
pilot interacting with the automated
system.
Abbott's team analyzed a series of
accidents and identified safety issues.
Their recommendations were published
by the FAA in a major report, The Interfaces Between Flightcrews and Modern
Flight Deck Systems. in June of 1996.
The report findings are now widely
used by most of the major airlines in the
U.S. and Europe, and as a result have
changed training procedures. Aviation
Week and Space Technology li sted the
report's recommendation s as the
number two safety priority to improve
aviation safety.
Shortly after releasing the aviation
report, Abbott was asked to accept a new
assignment with the FAA in the National
Resource Specialist Program . In that role
Abbott is the chief scientific and technical advisor for Flight Deck Human
Factors. Two and a half years into her
five-year assignment, Abbott is excited
about her work.
"One thing I like most about what I
do - and one of the most important things
is - it is very multidisciplinary," said
Abbott. "I have to cross many different
areas and pull together information to
solve problems and improve safety - and
that is a challenge."
Abbott's position involves extensive
travel throughout Europe, South
America, and Central America. During a
recent business trip, she traveled to
Toulousen, France and reviewed Airbus'
work in flight deck human factors and
learned about the new technology they
are putting into flight decks. At her
second stop in Basel, Switzerland, Abbott
shared aviation safety lessons with
members of the medical and aviation
industries in a seminar on risk management by Swiss Air and the Medical
School at the University of Basel.
Abbott says a lot of work remains to
be done. "My goal for this assignment is
to get human factors incorporated into
the regulatory processes and standards,"
said Abbott. "I want to help make that
happen."
Dr. Abbott holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Rutgers University
and a M.S. in Computer Science from
George Washington University. )~
