I still recommend "Software Engineering with Ada," by Grady Booch (but
make absolutely sure you get the latest edition).  After you've gone
through that, you might want to try:

	--  "System Design with Ada," by Ray Buhr (to learn about
		tasking)

        -- "Studies in Ada Style," by Hibbard et al. (to see some case
	    studies that point the way toward a programming style
	    perhaps unique to Ada).


By the way, Jerry, since we both work at MITRE, feel free to contact
me at x7753 if I can be of any further assistance w.r.t. Ada.
