Nice to hear that Walt did good at BAE Systems.

Then Havenstein went to a SAIC that was doing good and their stocks were going up very fast. After a while things turned a little sour and Walt retired from SAIC for personal reasons. He recently told the Keene Sentinel editorial board that he left his million dollar a year job because the commute from New Hampshire to Washington, DC had become too difficult.
For years Walt traveled all over the world in corporate jets but the yearly trip to NH was too much. OK I can see his point; he loved NH so much that right when he was making millions of dollars along with the enormous benefits, the yearly trip to NH did him in. Makes sense to me.
