A GREAT EDUCATION IS ONE OF THE KEY BUILDING BLOCKS FOR ALL ASTRONAUTS, AND IT WAS BISHOP M CNAMARA HIGH SCHOOL THAT HELPED T.J. ON HIS WAY TO GREATNESS. AFTER GRADUATING FROM BMHS IN 1978, T.J. CONTINUED HIS EDUCATION AT LOYOLA COLLEGE AND THE MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY. RETIRED FROM THE ARMY, COL. TIMOTHY CREAMER IS NOW NASA’S MISSION CONTROL FLIGHT DIRECTOR -- A POSITION OF INCREDIBLE MAGNITUDE... ALWAYS A MUSTANG!
