Carol Webber McAdams (BS Geology, 2008)

I finished my B.S. degree part way through the year in March of '08 and then headed down to Alabama where my fiance Andrew McAdams (we both took GEOL 210 in '05) was finishing up flight school for the Army National Guard. He is now a Blackhawk pilot! I stayed with him for about three weeks until graduation and then we packed up all his stuff and drove all the way back to Washington!

I found a job with Versar, Inc. on Fort Lewis where I am contracted out to the Army to do environmental analysis to fulfill the Army's legal requirement to perform NEPA (the National Environmental Policy Act). There is a lot of paperwork and talking with experts, but I do get to do site visits about once a week - so I am outside a little. Definitely want to head more towards geology in the next job, but this one pays the bills and I am learning a ton!

Let's see, I got that job in May and then July 20th I got married to earlier mentioned fiance! We are very happy to finally be living in the same state - let alone the same house (long history of separation from Army, etc.) and getting to spend so much time together. We now live in Eatonville, WA - which is a little place south of Puyallup and Graham on the west side.

We've made some great friends here, but can't wait to move back to Andrew's stomping ground, Wyoming! After a couple years here, we're gonna pick up the roots and actually settle on the eastern side of the Rockies, maybe Colorado, maybe Montana, most likely Wyoming. I can't wait to own horses. Anyhow, that's all the news fit to print.

I loved my time at Central - it was priceless.
