Ernie or "Netot" is a Goliath of a man  not only in physical strength (he held "A" PMA flyweight record in weightlifting) but more so in carrying out of responsibilities. In the service, no job is too much for him. In most cases he held two or more positions at a time, be it in the General Staff, Central Staff, or Commander of Units. The "Distinguish Service Star" around his neck in the picture on the left is a testimony of his performance. Ernie and wife Vangie, an MD, have (how many?) children, all geniuses. I lost count how many professionals but at least one Peemayer.
