life": Allan Mobs, '78, and Sam Harris, '76.

wife Tami (Vaughn) Havener, '77, of Silver City, N.M. Two of their three natural

Tami adopted Joshua, 2, in 1995.
In 1994, Havener was issued a U.S. patent for a system that models air
emissions from combustion processes. This product fueled the success of Pavilion
Technologies, which he joined in 1993.
