Rick Burtner ’74 (burtnerr@yahoo.com) comments, “Nearly every week, I find myself drawing from the foundational disciplines, values, and work ethic that were instilled at CFS. What a blessing to have been a part of the CFS experience. Living in northern Va., I continue to be smitten by the ‘entrepreneurial bug.’ I left my last technology company late last year, having taken it from start-up to $31MM of profitable revenue in less than five years. I am consulting and networking for my next ‘platform opportunity’ to grow another company. Cissi and I are nearly empty nesters, with our two youngest children already juniors in college. The only ‘child’ left is our two-year-old long-haired dachshund puppy, Stanley. We hope to see everyone at the April Alumni Dinner!” Don Burt ’77 (donburt@hotmail.com), wife Shawn, and three boys recently relocated to Chester Springs, Pa., from the East Fallowfield area.
