Rose high in the service of his country: Captain in the US Navy when last I talked to him in 1995. May have made Admiral? From one vet to another, thanks!
John, Andy retired as a Captain (while he was facility commander at Pearl Harbor in the 80's he gave me a behind the scenes tour of the entire base). He then spent many years in private/public positions, including a stint at the US Treasury Dept of Engraving and Printing. At one of the previous reunions, he brought newly minted Quarters for everyone - i still have mine.
I found an article about Andy...here is a clip that said a lot about him:
Brunhart, a retired Navy Captain, spent 30 years managing and operating public utilities and infrastructure before joining the District as general manager in December 2013. He became general manager just as California was entering one of the most profound droughts in history. Among other steps, Mr. Brunhart sent over 1,000 personal letters to customers who were using water 24 hours a day — a sure sign of a leak. He offered residents help in determining the cause of the leak at no charge. In the first five months, more than 750 customers repaired their leaks and saved an estimated total of 2.7 million gallons per month. That is enough water to serve 300 households each month.
