Comments:

Im happy to be in touch with you - a lifetime has passed so quickly. I graduated Rutgers in 1963 and law school in 1966, married Joan in 1971 and practiced law in Washington DC and Colorado until 2004. Life since has taken us to Mexico where we lived for 6 years and rejoined our daughter 4 years later in Orlando, and now living in New Smyrna Beach, Florida.

Enjoying long early morning walks/runs on the beach - running from the law and toward a healthy long life - and a simple life of books, music, and interacting with two grown children who fill my life with joy.

Sadly lost my wife Joan to cancer in 2013 after 42 years of marriage. Happily met Carol Swoboda’s daughter walking the beach one recent early morning.

School Story:

Perhaps my best moments were sharing time with Steve Billow, Bob Bogdanow and Kevin Mendelson (Bunin). Particularly true with Steve in driver's education where we took turns driving and clowning. Steve was the clown and the time spent in the car was a circus.

2021 A few years have passed since my last post and little has changed in my life which is a good thing. Best wishes to each of you,

I’m still here...80! I keep thinking about my next big adventure, maybe my last, moving back to Mexico, but inertia and beach life and reason seem to keep me here. Healthcare trumps most other things at 80. My recent passport photo is nothing like the HS photo . Will write more at 90 .

Sadly, I learned that my close high school friend Steve Billow passed away in July 2019 in North Carolina from Parkinson’s disease. Steve possessed a wonderful sense of humor, a deep feeling of compassion toward people less fortunate than himself, he is missed.

Hi Steve, who is the beautiful woman?

Riding around on Saturday nights in Bob Bogdanow’s 58-59 Bonneville convertible along with Kevin Mendelson and Steve Billow looking for "hot" girls riding around in their convertible...I'll miss Bob, Kevin and Steve but I have some nice memories. Sadly, we never, never found the "hot" girls.
