Since its founding in 1987 as a woman-owned small
business, Fastrak Training Inc. has delivered over
350,000 contact hours of training to over 135 government
and industry organizations in software engineering,
software process improvement based upon the SEI Capability
Maturity Model, project management, quality assurance,
configuration management, object-oriented methods, and
the Ada programming language. Customized facilitated
workshops also help organizations perform self-assessments
and develop their own software policies, procedures and
standards.
To those of you who know Fastrak Training Inc.,
I would like to update you on what has transpired since we last
worked together. In April 1997, my husband John suffered a
massive intracerebral hemorrhage that left him paralyzed on
his right side and with severe cognitive disabilities. In
May, I decided to close the Fastrak offices. All employees
were let go by September of 1997, and I moved the office
into my home where I continue to do some limited consulting.
John's physical recovery has been nothing short of miraculous.
His cognitive skills have also made significant recovery
and we continue to work daily on those areas. In addition
to working with my husband, and consulting on a limited
basis, I have written a book By His Side - Life and Love After Stroke about
our experiences since his stroke. It is a book about hope and
miracles and hard work. It is now available as a trade paperback.
You may purchase it at www.fastrak.com
Fastrak Training Inc. is no longer in the
Ada or Object-Oriented business. However, persons looking for training
in either of those areas who contact me through e-mail
will be directed to one of our former instructors who is excellent.
Occasionally we still get requests for articles that were written by us.
Those articles are now available on this web site. To view the articles Click Here.
Best wishes in your software efforts.
