Vice President - Steve
Carrington '92
| Steve, as the youngest member of the Cinci USNA Alumni
Board, injects much needed ‘new blood’ into the organization. It
helps that he was a graduate during one of the most significant military
era’s of this country, and that he was a brown shoe aviator which helps
liven up any gathering of USNA grads. Subs and SWOs can always use
a little Naval Aviation appreciation. |
 |
After graduation, Steve flew F-18 Hornets for VFA 37
(The Bulls), graduated from Navy TopGun, flew for VFA 82 (The Marauders) and
ended his career as a Reservist with VFA-12 (The Omars). Steve left
the service as a LCDR to pursue a career in business where he served as an
International Program Manager for GE Aviation (military aircraft engines).
He left GE to become Director, Business Development for L-3 Communications,
Cincinnati Electronics.
The Alumni Association operates in the black and does
not collect dues or any other participatory funds. We welcome any
ideas for growing the team, getting together, and giving back to USNA, the
Navy, and the greater Cincinnati Community.
Pictured above is Steve (USNA ’92) and his wife Diane,
a proud member of the USAFA class of ’91. Steve has attended both Navy
vs. Notre Dame Games in the last 3 years that resulted in Navy victory.
The luck of the Irish has clearly passed.

Web Comms - Lou Cedrone '85
| Lou hails
from the class of 1985. Like most of us, he experienced the
bittersweet memories of watching the Chapel Dome fade into the rear view
mirror that June. After a stint at Nuc School (why?) and Prototype
in Windsor Lochs, Lou ended up on the West Coast. Lou lived in San
Francisco, serving on the USS Texas (CGN-39). |
 |
After leaving Naval service,
Lou joined P&G, making Folgers coffee and married a classmate's sister
(don't ask!). Two relocations and two children later, Lou's a resident
of the Cincinnati area and loving life (although still not a true-blue
Bengals fan).
