If you've already read this, you can skip to the addendum at the end.
After graduation, I spent a couple years hitchhiking and traveling, eventually landing at The Evergreen State College from which I graduated with a degree in something (hard to say what).
After Evergreen, I moved to southern Japan where I taught ESL and literature and worked as a medical writer.
From there, I went to graduate school at the University of Alabama. At some point (I'm not that sharp on dates), I graduated with an MFA in creative writing and spent several more years there as a visiting assistant professor.
Next, I moved to Birmingham, where I taught at UAB for the better part of a decade.
In the last twenty years I have lived mostly in the South--New Orleans, Tuscaloosa, and parts between. For the time being, I'm back in Birmingham (teaching and writing) but plotting a return to New Orleans (I moved away right before Katrina and have been down many times since, helping friends recover).
I had intended to make the reunion but events conspired against me. I do make a pilgrimage to Bremerton three or four times a year. My parents are still in the same house and two of my four siblings live in the area--brother Mark, who resides with his family on a sailboat moored in Eagle Harbor, and sister Susie, who lives with her large family in Indianola (one of my favorite spots on the peninsula).
I am now dating a hot girl named Donna in Atlanta. Wow! Am I lucky to be in the same room as her! When I see her, I melt. Melt I tell you...like cotton candy in the noon day sun. I have always been so cocky and she knocks me down a peg or two. Perhaps you remember my days of being way too sure of myself?
I shared my log-on info with my girlfriend, who abused the privlege by adding this. Despite her struggles with the language, she is a brilliant and successful woman.
Please feel free to drop me an email. I'd enjoy hearing from any of you.
Addendum: Family matters have brought me back to the Northwest and am now teaching English and MBA classes online (way too many of them) while staying with my parents, both approaching ninety and still going strong (I'm lucky, I know). I'm here indefinitely. If you're so inclined, drop me a line.

"Just discovered your product today while trying to locate classmates ahead of our 50th reunion in 2020. The fact that you did this in a noncommercial manner in a world where everything has a price tag deserves recognition and respect, in my view.
Thank you and good luck in all your endeavors."
