Comments:

I graduated from Hawken School and, after a couple of years at Princeton, took a few years off to work on riverboats and see the world. Ended up in Madison, WI and got a PhD in Applied Economics. After a few years as a professor at Penn State I returned to Madison and now own a small consulting firm called Pacific Economics Group Research. I mostly do utility regulation work in Canada. In my spare time I enjoy hiking and travelling. The biggest tragedies in my life have been the deaths of my wife Elizabeth Lowry (heart attack) and my subsequent life partner Ann Kelley (colon cancer). I was fortunate to be able to parent her two children for a couple of years after Ann died. Despite these setbacks I have great kids and a stimulating career and enjoy my life living on a drumlin overlooking Lake Mendota in Madison. My partner Jean Deuster is a retired doctor and lives in suburban Milwaukee. I rarely return to Cleveland since my parents died years ago. Would come more often if the Browns were better!

School Story:

I have lots of fond memories from Fernway and my two years at Woodbury. Al Maples, Hugh Lewis, Stewart Peck, and the rest of the guys in Sal Fabrizio's homeroom. Parties with Janet Bolz, Sally Cooper, Laurie Stein, and Shelly Frisch. Grammer class with Mrs. King. High school football games at Shaker. The Albert Ladanyi experience. Hanging in the neighborhood with Bert Debeneditto and Bertie Riley. Had some friends at Hawken that some of you will remember from grade school. Jimmie Marcus and Howard Halle.

Classmates You Still See Regularly:

I see Stewart Peck on my occasional visits to New Orleans.

I did not get Covid, but have been much more careful about it since the reunion. This is not the only piece of recent evidence in my personal life that this variant is supercontagious. The only time you don't need to worry about it is whenever you have week to get sick and recover.

Happy birthday Sally! I still fondly remember a party in your basement. Would it have been in the ninth grade? Hope that you are doing well.

Yes, he was an outstanding teacher who taught his students to think "outside the box" and made us feel that we were special and had some talent.  I believe that I participated in a summer class that he taught at Woodbury.  At some point I wrote a paper on architecture for him.

I am fortunate to live near Lake Mendota. I enjoy walking down the hill (I live on a glacial drumlin) to see the sunsets.
