What we need to know:
Went away to at Brandeis with two others from HHS: Judy Yanof and Nancy Sherman. Majored in history.
Went to graduate school and then was drafted.
Married while in the Army; on return, worked for several years with NY State Urban Development Corporation and then moved in 1973 to Alexandria, VA where I joined a large architectural firm (Skidmore, Owings & Merrill) as project manager and administrator.
Three kids - born 1970, 1974 and 1978. They now live in Bellingham WA, Manhattan and Brooklyn.
Divorced after 25 years. Remarried someone I knew from graduate school whom I remet at a reunion.
Co-founded an architectural-interior design firm which I held for twelve years and sold in 1995 to go into low-income housing development. For past seven years I have doing housing development for a national nonprofit called Volunteers of America.
If I had to do it over again: I am happy to say I wouldn't change a thing. I feel blessed.
I very much appreciate the homework the reunion committee is doing. It enabled me to get back in touch with Jack Jastrab, Mike Simon, Victor Theiss and Mike Cotsonas plus I had a mini-reunion lunch with Howie Zuckerman and Jackie Travers Carbe at the restaurant that Paul and Jackie Carbe operate in Alexandria.
