After HHS, went to the Naval Academy but after a year and a half of hearing Peter Mayer's stories about how great it was at Syracuse, I jumped ship and went to Tufts for an engineering degree. Shortly after, I followed Bob Zabaronick's path, getting drafted, and joining the Air Force. A shock to bump into Bob in Officer's Training School where he was an upperclassman - I recall having to call him "sir" but only in public! On to Mcguire AFB where Brenda was born and coincidentally finding Zabo as my neighbor. While there, got an MA from Central Michigan and got out of the AF as a Captain when the war wound down, joining Mobil Oil in an international drilling engineering training program. Onto Norway where Ken was born and the North Sea. Back to New York, New Orleans, Norway (again), Dallas, Indonesia, London, Dallas, Houston with the Exxon Merger, and finally retirement to Florida. Some volunteer work, mostly with Habitat for Humanity, golf, tennis, etc. Still keep in touch with Mayer, Lillard, Barr, Finkeldey (Ok, Stephenson), Zabo (once in a while) and even gave DeAngelis some advice a few years ago about never selling the stock (he hasn't thanked me yet).

School Story

Coach Bub for keeping me straight, lifelong friends and everlasting memories. Why did they ever change from cloth towels to paper towels in the boys shower room anyway? And why did Mr. Ashman hit me so hard with his Depaul University fraternity paddle?
