Where have you been? and what have you been doing? - - - family, school, career, pastimes, good times, etc.

I went to the American College of Switzerland,Leysin,Vaud C.H. after graduation from Eastmoor. I made lifelong friendships there. the school was very small (110 students) and it was more like a hybrid of a big family and the movie Animal House After 2 years I went to the University of the Americas in Mexico City. Left school for a while after getting 2 undergrads. i gravitated towards politics since I had a family member who was in Congress. I worked on numerous campaigns around the country. After getting tired of that I went back to grad school and picked up two more degrees. In 1982 I was appointed to head a large state regulatory commission. I managed to keep that fiduciary position for 25 years. I also taught part time at a local college for 21 years. I was eligible for retirement at 55 so I left as quickly as I could to be with My daughter and pursue My dreams.

favorite high school memory

Mr. Murphy telling Me that college was not for Me.( I graduated in the bottom quarter at Eastmoor)Then going back to visit Him after being admitted to a PhD. program at a top university.

unique achievement

Survived so many crazy adventures.

standout event

Having a wonderful daughter when I was 44 years old and reuniting with My college love after almost 50 years apart on opposite sides of the globe

unforgettable trip

Sailed around the ocean in My 10 meter sailboat.Summiting Kilamanjaro,Popcatapetl,and traversing Egypt from Alexandria to Abu Simbel . Scuba diving all over the globe.Too many stories to mention.

little-known fact

I got a hair cut from an academy award winning actor who was My roommate in Switz. Michael "Sylvester" Stallone I have lived in Italy half time for the last 7 years.

You’ve come a long way in 55 years. Where are you going in the next five years?

I have grown old but have never grown up. I hope to go back to Our olive farm and agriturismo in Tuscany once the Covid has calmed down.
