I went to Rice U through 1970 and then joined Hewelett Packard in California. It didn't take long to decide that Colorado was a better place to live, so I transferred to Loveland, CO in 1972. After retiring from HP in 2001 from a career developing computer hardware and software, I took up teaching some classes in Electrical Engineering at Colorado State Univ., which I really enjoy.

My wife, Marcia, and I enjoy travelling, spending most of March each year in Cancun (I guess we're Elder-Spring-Breakers!), and recently travelling to the British Virgin Islands (bareboat sailing), Chile, Argentina, and Budapest to Bucharest on the Danube. By our 50th celebration we will also have travelled to Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and Russia.

I've been a (minor) part of the 50th Reunion Committee, and I must say that our leader, Butch, has been the key sparkplug and has really gotten the planning moving along. Marcia and I will certainly be at the 50th Reunion celebration, and we're really looking to catching up with you if you can make it too!

Although I was really a nerdy science and math student, I have to say that singing with the fun folks and great singers in Hugh Sanders' A Cappella Choir brought some really great memories (including "Oklahoma" and "Carousel").

Being subjected to Marvin Pung's Science Fair experiments involving his use of hydrogen sulfide, a very malodorous gas, also comes to mind. Why did Mrs. Ledbetter's chemistry class have to be my home room??
