DR. JOHN S. ROMINE
After moving to San Diego, Dr. Salk continued to conduct his own research with his own laboratory staff. Among the research carried out by the Salk Lab has been studies aimed at understanding and manipulating the immune system in its relationship to the control of autoimmune and neoplastic diseases such as cancer and multiple sclerosis (MS). During the 1970’s Dr. Salk devoted much attention to the prevention and treatment of MS, and between 1978 and 1980 he participated in an extensive MS study with a team headed by Dr. John S. Romine of the University of California, San Diego. With funding from the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, the Salk‑Romine study tested the use of myelin basic protein as a therapeutic agent in the treatment of MS.
RICHARD ROMINE
Huntsville, Lincoln County, Alabama (1996). A 17‑year‑old boy will spend the next 20 years behind bars. Richard Romine pleaded guilty to second‑degree murder for the shooting death of his step‑father, Olan Hall. The 20 year sentence is actually a reduced one in light of Romine’s plea bargain. Because he was a juvenile when the incident occurred, authorities will hold him at a juvenile detention facility until he turns 19. He’ll then be transferred to a state penitentiary.

CATHERINE ROMINE
University of Alabama at Birmingham, Major: Biology, Expected Graduation Date: June 1997. Catherine Romine had only seriously considered two universities when planning her transfer from Wallace State College in Hanceville‑‑‑the University of Alabama at Birmingham and Auburn. UAB had many factors that attracted her, including its close‑to‑home location, but Romine wanted to make the right choice for her. “When I received information that I had the Phi Theta Kappa scholarship (at UAB), that was it. That was my sign, “recalled Catherine, whose membership in the Alpha Chi Tau Chapter of Phi Theta Kappa made her eligible to receive the $2,000 renewable award.
Confident that she has made the right decision‑‑‑with a little help from Phi Theta Kappa‑‑‑Romine is now a junior at UAB studying biology. Once she has completed her bachelor’s degree, she will apply for one of only 40 positions available each year in UAB’s optometry program, one of the few programs of its kind in the United States. Coming from a small town (her hometown is Cullman) to the big city has provided its share of adjustments for her. “Meeting people is harder (at the university),” Catherine acknowledged. “At Wallace, I saw the same people every day. At UAB I see new faces every day.”
Romine first found scholarship opportunities at the end of a runway…a pageant runway, that is. After winning the Miss Wallace State College pageant, a preliminary to the state contest affiliated with the Miss America competition, she received full tuition and money for books during her sophomore year. Having to foot the entire college bill as a freshman made the pageant scholarship all the more meaningful. “I got a taste of what it’s like to have to do without and have to pay for everything‑‑‑books, tuition. It really makes you appreciate it a lot more.”

DAVID ROMINE
Hanford, Washington – Dave Romine spends his days handling one of the most lethal leftovers of the Cold War, plutonium, a key ingredient in nuclear weapons. He gathers plutonium debris into a jar which contains enough plutonium for a bomb 25 times more powerful than the one dropped on Hiroshima. Even so, Romine showed little sign of fear. “It’s definitely a dangerous job, but I mean, so is working on a car. You know, you can drop a transmission on your foot and break it.”, says David. But this, there are special precautions for it. The 560 square mile Hanford Nuclear Reservation was the country’s main plutonium factory until it shut down in the 1980’s. Since then, workers like Romine
have been cleaning up and processing the debris for safe storage. Now he and others might be called on to handle a lot more atomic waste. That’s because the United States and Russia have begun scrapping thousands of warheads in their nuclear stockpile. Hanford is one of the top six sites being considered for the storage and possible disposal of enough weapons‑grade plutonium to build 10,000 nuclear bombs. The work could mean an economic boom to the cities near Hanford which have prospered from the plutonium connection and even paid homage to it. A local high school team, the Bombers, uses a mushroom cloud for its logo. Romine thinks it would be good not only for the economy but for the country if Hanford were picked as the site. “It’s just in general a better idea that we have it here because the people here know how to deal with this material, rather than sending it somewhere else that it may not be dealt with properly.”, says Dave Romine.
DENNIS ROMINE
Rocketdyne Engineer of the Year Nominee. For leadership in achieving an increase of one second in SSME Block I engine specific impulse (Isp) through his technical expertise and leadership of various analytical and experimental efforts in support of major SSME program goals. What’s the big deal about increasing engine specific impulse‑efficiency or “miles per gallon”‑by one second? “It means that a cluster of three SSMEs can carry another 1200 pounds into orbit,” explained Dennis Romine. “With the cost of weight to orbit‑about $4000 per pound‑as high as it now it is, that can be a significant savings. Plus, it helps to increase performance safety margin.” Leading a team of engineers, Dennis found a way to alter the propellant flow inside the engine combustion chamber that resulted in the increased efficiency. The team made improvements in the Block I engine and the Block II that is scheduled to fly in 1997. A California native, Dennis went to Cleveland High School before attending college. He’s also an accomplished man on the golf links, once playing with a handicap of just seven strokes. “I’m getting my son Kenneth into the game now,” Dennis said. Just two and a half, Kenneth confines his strokes to a plastic golf club. “The real clubs come when he’s about nine or ten,” Dennis promised.

PAUL ROMINE
February 24, Sacramento Raceway Park, — In attendance was a new race outfit from Indiana that commanded instant respect: this was Paul Romine, a respected midwestern Top Fuel and Funny Car shoe who hung up his fireboots in ’82, but saw a nostalgia race at Indy last year and immediately caught the sickness all over again. After hiring legendary Top Fuel crew chief Clayton Harris away from the big leagues to tune the digger, Romine also commissioned both Dave Uyehara to build him a chassis, and Sterling Racing Engines to draft some cylinder heads for a Donovan block. Romine tested the car at Sacramento on the Thursday before the Winter Classic and immediately dropped the jaws of the nostalgia intelligentsia. Romine put the hammer down big time with a 6.21 1100‑foot shutoff pass. Early Saturday afternoon Romine seized the pole position in qualifying with a 4.33/ 181 mph shot. His storybook weekend ended early however with a redlight in the first round of eliminations. His 4.39 was wasted as Ty Norton advanced with a slower 4.52.

JIM ROMINE
SANTEE, CA, 12‑Jan‑1996 Friday, ‑‑ A sharply divided City Council has voted to strip veteran City Manager Ronald Ballard of his power to hire and fire three key department heads, including the person overseeing development proposals, road projects and building inspections. The move ‑‑ given preliminary approval this week during a heated council session ‑‑ was condemned by critics as a power grab that will corrupt municipal government and open the door to Chicago‑style politics. The critics vowed to mount a ballot drive to overturn the decision. By a 3‑2 vote, with Councilmen Jim Romine and Jim Bartell angrily opposed, the council on Wednesday moved to grant itself authority to hire and terminate the city clerk, finance director and head of development services. The plan leaves City Hall “ripe for abuse,” contended Romine. “This certainly opens the door ‑‑ maybe not for this council, but for future councils ‑‑ to have the opportunity for influence peddling and corruption,” he said.

KIMBERLY ROMINE
I grew up in perfect San Diego, graduated from Stanford University in 1988, worked for Apple Computer for 2 1/2 years, have been married for 5 years, and have a wonderful family and two adorable kitties. My husband and I are expecting our first child in August, 1996. I enjoy writing, camping, jet skiing, snow skiing, water skiing, writers Dave Barry and John Irving, Bruce Springsteen, and the X‑Files. My husband is named Chris. We met at Stanford and fell in love playing broomball together. He enjoys sports, playing sports, watching sports, listening to sports and some occasional sports. He’s got a mechanical engineering degree, and an MBA.
I joined Jones Intercable in May of 1992 as an assistant to Glenn R. Jones, the CEO, and Jim Ginsburg , then‑CIO. I was responsible for incoming communications and reproducing important documents. Later I moved to Russia. Maybe it was a little drastic, but it turned out to be an incredible experience. My husband and I arrived in Moscow just in time to live through the 1993 coup, in which Pres. Boris Nikolayevich used some big tanks to get his message across to those feisty ex‑parliament members. After things calmed down, I found a job managing a start‑up Apple Computer dealership (the first western‑owned and managed in Russia) at the Americom Business Center. It was, well, really really really challenging. Really. When I wasn’t fighting with the accounting dept. to pay my bills (ha!), I was studying up on the latest changes to the Russian Labor Law.
After a year of fun‑filled frustrating adventure, we decided to return to beautiful, colorful Colorado. My management experience in Moscow launched me into a fantastic position on the Network Services team of Jones Interactive, where I began catching up on the latest Internet and Web technology. I started by working on the Jones Digital Store and as the Content Coordinator for the American Memory Project, a joint project between Jones and the Library of Congress. However, last March I was promoted to the Web Services Manager of the Jones Internet Channel web services division. Though it’s a fast‑moving, high‑stress business, it’s a breeze compared to my Apple dealership in Russia.
