Outstanding Alumni 200 I

Gene William Ashley, Jr.-1950, an electrical engineer, was credited by LeRoy Smith, his SHS teacher, as
having an "inquisitive mind" which has served him well throughout his lifetime. While attending SHS,
Ashley obtained an Amateur Ham Radio License and constructed several short wave radios and transmit-
ters. He built a point contact transistor patterned after the Bell Laboratories new invention, and although
his homemade device did not work, he was far ahead of others regarding this new technology.

He attended the University of Omaha in 1950 concentrating on pre-engineering courses while obtaining a
commercial FDD First Class Radio Telephone license. He worked evenings and weekends at radio and
television stations in the Omaha area while attending college. He received his degree in Electrical Engi-
neering from the University of Colorado in June 1955. Ashley joined General Dynamics in Pomona, CA,
working in the field of transistors and miniature electronic circuits for small military guided missiles, and
serving as head of the Electro-Optical Sensor Development Laboratory. This laboratory worked in Ultra-
Violet, Infrared, and Millimeter spectral regions. He also was engaged in studies of this technology related
to developing advanced missile guidance systems. Ashley is credited as co-inventor of the REDEYE
(Stinger) shoulder launched guided missile, and provided the conceptual design for the POST Missile IR-
UV contrast guidance system now in mass production at Raytheon in Tucson, Arizona.

In 1974, he moved to Hawaii to serve as Principal Research Scientist at the AMOS Observatory at Mt.
Haleakala on the island of Maui, which was being operated by AVCO Everette Research Laboratory (now
Textron). He retired from Textron in 1990 and formed his own consulting firm (GWA, Inc.) and provided
engineering services to Textron and Rockwell Power System from 1990 to 1997. He is now retired and
still living on the island ofMaui.

While attending SHS, he lived off the comer of 24th and Oak Streets. His father was an engineer who
helped build the South Omaha Bridge.

We are proud to honor Glen William Ashley, Jr. as a SHSAA Outstanding Alumnus! Congratulations on
a long and illustrious career using your advanced science and electrical engineering background to produce
weapons advancing military safety.

John Martinez-1979 has been a traffic cop for the past ten years, now working
four nights a week on the midnight to 8 a.m. shift for the Omaha Police Depart-
ment in the South Omaha area. By day, he is a youth coach and athletic director at
Holy Ghost Catholic Church at 5219 South 53 Street. He chose this arduous
schedule so he can spend the day coaching and being a father to his five children,
including 13-year old Austin who plays on his dad's baseball team. John is shown
here coaching the kids.

In May, the Santa Lucia Queen Committee honored Martinez for services to his church and to youths. He
insists that he needs no special recognition, because his reward is giving kids a chance to succeed.
