“Today I would like to recognize John Walczak. He is retiring after an impressive 37 years and 2 months at the FAA. He started working at the FAA in 1982 as a student through Stockton State College now called Stockton University. He learned three computer languages: Ultra, JOVIAL, and Basic Assembly Language. He started working full-time in 1984 as a computer programmer and worked his way up the ranks over the years to become STARS DT&E Test Director, which eventually would become IDQT Test Director. He was also the application lead for requirements. John retired on January 3, 2020. I thank John, his community thanks him, and his country thanks him for his service. Our world is safer because of John and the work that he has done. We are so unbelievably proud of your accomplishments, John. Congratulations, and may God bless you. ____________________”
