The Alumni Foundation has received a request for any video or home movies of the 1982 Halebaloo talent show.  Go search in Mom's attic or that trunk of "school stuff" that you've never completely gone through.

If anyone has video of this (or just about any school event or game), the Alumni Foundation is actively collecting copies them for our historical archives and will pay the cost to have them transferred to DVD and made available on the web site.

Please contact us at info@NathanHaleAlumni.org

Bob Heidman, Class of '82
U S
Army

UPDATED: Chief Warrant Officer 4 Robert J. Heidman recently returned from Kuwait and will be retiring from the U.S. Army in July, 2008 after almost 21 years serving his country. 

Bob's service has taken him to various locations throughout the U.S. and abroad.  He has served in Georgia, Texas New York, Germany, Korea (two times), and most recently in Kuwait.  Bob was an Information Systems Technician for his entire Army career serving in various roles throughout his career, his most distinguished position was Senior Network Instructor at the Army's School of Information Technology at Fort Gordon, Georgia. 

Bob will be retiring in Augusta, Georgia and working for a government contractor working on the future information networks for the Army.  You can reach Bob at robert.heidman@us.army.mil.

 

Jennifer Wade-Vinyard and her husband own Aerotek Industries; a machine shop/fabrication shop in Muskogee, Oklahoma. They do all manual and CNC machine services as well as custom design and fabrication.

 

Brian Upton is a senior game designer for the PlayStation Division of Sony Corporation.

As a National Merit Scholar, following graduation from Hale, he received a scholarship to Rice University at Houston.  At Rice, he majored in English and computer engineering.  He then moved on to the University of North Carolina, where he earned a master's degree in computer technology.

He soon joined Virtus Corporation, headquartered in Raleigh, NC, which developed computer games and which was primarily owned by Tom Clancy, the celebrated novelist.  As engineering director at Virtus, Brian developed a highly successful game called SSN.  The market popularity of this game prompted Clancy to form his own computer game company, Red Storm Entertainment, and install Brian as the firm's senior designer.  During his career at Red Storm, Brian presided over the development of such popular computer games as Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon, and Rogue's Spear.

Brian's wife, Elizabeth, a native New Yorker whom he had met at the UNC, received her doctorate in music, and in 2002 was offered a professorship at the UCLA.  This prompted Brian to make his availability known to California-based electronic game companies, and he was soon hired as senior designer by Sony, headquartered in Santa Monica.

The first Sony PlayStation game, developed by Brian from it's inception, is scheduled to be introduced in the US market in the Spring of 2005.

Brian and Elizabeth have a home in the Westwood section of Los Angeles, near UCLA.  They are the parents of two en, Sam, age 11, and Rose, age 4.  Brian's three older sisters - Pam, Barbara and Marti - are also Hale graduates.
