As that project enters its final stages, I was sorry to think that he\u2019d soon be moving on. And then, in early April, park GM Rhonda Ciacco surprised me:\u00a0Tim wasn\u2019t going anywhere. He\u2019d just accepted the job as Maintenance Manager for The Resort and Silveridge. So we have a chance to get to know Tim a bit better.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Tim grew up in Kennewick, Washington, raised by a pair of Southerners far from home. His parents were from South Carolina and then his father, a mechanical engineer, took a a job at a major nuclear disposal plant in Washington. (When his dad retired, the folks moved back to South Carolina. His dad has since de-retired and works for the city where they live, Camden, while his mother retired from her job as a nurse.)<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Tim went from high school into the Navy, and ended up as a Fire Control Officer on Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyers. The \u201cfire\u201d in the title is a bit misleading, because it has nothing to do with fires \u2013 the fire fighters on ships are \u201cdamage control\u201d \u2013 no, Tim was responsible for firing missiles. The ships Tim served on spent most of their time in the waters around the Middle East, serving as a deterrent that worked \u2013 they never needed to fire upon an enemy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table class=\"galileo-ap-layout-editor\" border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\" editor-col OneColumnMobile\" align=\"\" valign=\"top\" width=\"100%\">\n<div class=\"gl-contains-image\">\n<table class=\"editor-image editor-image  editor-image-vspace-on\" border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"center\" valign=\"top\">\n<div class=\"publish-container\"><img class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/files.constantcontact.com\/57c46b83501\/405cb8fa-152d-4e0b-a218-42a735c38451.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"0\" vspace=\"0\" \/><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table class=\"galileo-ap-layout-editor\" border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\" editor-col OneColumnMobile\" align=\"\" valign=\"top\" width=\"100%\">\n<div class=\"gl-contains-text\">\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"editor-text editor-text \" align=\"left\" valign=\"top\">\n<div>\n<table class=\"editor-image OneColumnMobile\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"right\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"mobile-hidden\" align=\"center\" valign=\"top\" width=\"15\" height=\"1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/imgssl.constantcontact.com\/letters\/images\/sys\/S.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"15\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"0\" vspace=\"0\" \/><\/td>\n<td class=\"image-cell \" align=\"center\" valign=\"top\">\n<div class=\"publish-container\"><img class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/files.constantcontact.com\/57c46b83501\/ad5e901c-396a-431e-99ab-5c36acfaae7f.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"236\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"0\" vspace=\"0\" \/><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"mobile-hidden\" align=\"center\" valign=\"top\" width=\"5\" height=\"5\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/imgssl.constantcontact.com\/letters\/images\/sys\/S.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"5\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"0\" vspace=\"0\" \/><\/td>\n<td class=\"mobile-hidden\" align=\"center\" valign=\"top\" height=\"5\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/imgssl.constantcontact.com\/letters\/images\/sys\/S.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"5\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"0\" vspace=\"0\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-container galileo-ap-content-editor\">\n<div>\n<p>You hear that old line, \u201cjoin the Navy and see the world.\u201d That was partly true for Tim \u2013 Jerusalem, Rome, Bahrain, and the Seychelles \u2013 but he mostly saw the confines of his 600X80-foot ship, including one stint of 67 days without docking.\u00a0So, after six years, he was ready to move to Florida, where he took up studies for an Engineering degree.
