Untitled[edit]

I'm interested in Congressman Chip Cravaack. Does anyone have information about his personal history? What class did he graduate with at the US Naval Academy? Where did he stand in his class? When was he separated from active duty? When did he retire from the Naval Reserve? Did he retire from NWA/Delta? If so, when? Does his work history include teaching? What is his marital history?

Picture changing[edit]

There has been some back and forth on changing official pictures, and I would just like to express a preference here. A change was made a few days ago, with an edit summary given as "modernize". However, both pics were taken at the same, or approximately the same time, and as I understand it both are considered official pictures. I agree with this edit that reverted the picture change back to the one with the flag. The one with the flag is a better likeness, and using the portrait with flag is more common in the blps of congressman.- KeptSouth (talk) 09:33, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The one with the flag is the most recent...the "modernized", I think was taken right at the time he was elected (though I may be wrong)...however, I agree that the higher res official portrait with the flag should be used. Connormah (talk) 13:36, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
