Today's Featured Biography

 

 
John McGarry


What I Have Done Since 1957:
I graduated from Lehigh University in Bethlehem, PA in 1961 with a BA (Applied Science) (honors) and in 1962 (BS Met.E) (High Honors). In 1966, I graduated from Georgetown Law Center (LLB) and have practiced law since my graduation from law school. I worked for Phillips Petroleum in its patent department in D.C. from 1962-1966 while I was in law school and moved to Oklahoma in 1966 to work for Phillips in its home office. I moved to Grand Rapids, MI in 1967 to work for an Intellectual Property law firm and have been here since then, working as a partner for several firms and have ended up as the most senior shareholder (a dubious distinction) in McGarry Bair PC between 2001 and April 2015 in a practice limited to intellectual property law. I have been active in leadership positions in various local and national bar associations, in some local environmental organizations and some cultural (opera and chamber music) organizations. I am presently active in the Grand Rapids chapter of Citizens Climate Lobby (www.citizensclimatelobby.com) and am a board member of the MI League of Conservation Voters.

I have kept up with many classmates over the years,including,principally,the infamous "Chevy Chase Gang" most of whom are still alive and well. I look forward to returning to our 56th reunion this fall.

What Keeps Me Busy Now:
I married the former Kate Wilkinson from New Jersey in 1961. We have sons John in Seattle and Andrew in Haiku, H . I spend my time climate change activities with Citizens Climate Lobby and MI League of Conservation Voters as well as with cultural activities in Grand Rapids, New York and Chicago, and with family in between, biking, swimming and strength training, most importantly, visiting B-CC classmates. I try to keep up with what is happening in the world by reading the Financial Times and emails posts from multiple environmental organizations to which I contribute and which I support. I am now devoting more time supporting some NGO organizations that promote climate change abatement and gun control.
