Honorably discharged at rank of Captain in 1970.

Returned to work in college-university administration, as an Associate Dean of
Students at a private, Jesuit university, Santa Clara. My sister, Shirley and her family lived in that area at the time.

In 1975 I moved back to Warren area and took a job in public information at the
Chautauqua Institution, Chautauqua, NY.

In 1978 I moved to Greeley, CO and enrolled in an MA program in Counseling Psychology. I
received my MA in 1982 while employed at Warren Mental Health Services, Inc., Warren,
PA. I worked as a caseworker/counselor there from 1979-1984.

I moved to Buffalo in 1987 where I worked as a counselor in a county outpatient clinic downtown for two years.

In 1989 I moved to Akron, OH to be with my present wife, Shaan. We will celebrate our
20th wedding anniversary in July 2010. We met in 1975 when we both worked at the Chautauqua Institution.

After moving to Ohio, I worked for a few more years in chemical dependency counseling. Then, I decided it was time to do some other kind of work which didn't involve listening to peoples problems all day.

Since 1992 I have worked as a realtor for several years, had my own personal growth
coaching business, driven a van on long distance routes for a Japanese photo imaging company and...more recently...have been concentrating on two little businesses:
photography; and providing rides, shopping and other non medical services to seniors and
others.

My wife, Shaan is a college administrator and a Mary Kay consultant. We have a 2 year old canine child that we dearly love. Her mother is a Golden Retriever, father is a standard poodle (the largest Poodle). She is fluffy white with some gold accents and looks kind of like an Old English sheepdog when she needs grooming. We have no human children or step-children. Our Golden doodle’s name is Lexie Lu.

My sister, Shirley, and husband live in Maine. I have one nephew in California and three in Maine. My wife,Shaan has a sister
in Rochester, NY and her mother lives in Jamestown, NY. Shaan's sister and husband
have two children. So we have a nephew in
Houston,Texas and a neice in Rochester, NY.

We moved my parents to Ohio in 1998. My Dad died 6 months later at 89. My Mother went on to live another five years; until she was 95.

I look forward to our 50th reunion and to communicating with old friends, classmates.
Have enjoyed doing some of that for months now, since communiqués about 50th started.
