Patrick's Story
Life
Left Ct. in '88. CIGNA job moved us (wife Cindy, boys Nathan and Derek, daughter Alison) to Bath, OH, just outside of Akron, 25 miles south of Cleveland. Been here ever since - love it. Almost as good as HebronAndoverMarlborough.
We have a house w 10 acres, 2 horses, barn, and 7 dogs. Sounds like a farm in the country but it's not, just an oasis in the suberbs. Derek (23) and Ali (21) still live home, Nathan (28) nearby, everybody pretty healthy. Cindy (Hilliard)and I celebrated 30 years last May. Seems like 90...in a good way.
My whole career has been in the retirement plan field, i.e. helping companies set up and offer 401k plans. Figures it would be in something school never prepared us for.

n them fondly. My family life was disfunctional, so my jock friends, my hippie friends, my greaser friends, my straight A friends, were what I looked forward to every day. I miss my old friends. The only ones I'm in contact with now are Greg Hoisington, Tim Moore, Phil Conderino, and Dave Schwanke - we get together for a long golf weekend every year. Golf is my vice, the only remaining vestige of my old sports days I guess. My football, baseball, soccer and basketball days are behind me. I miss those old friends too.
I like to write now - if you couldn't tell - so I'd enjoy email corresponding with old classmates. Compare memories, see how different they are...catch up. This internet thing is pretty cool, I think it might catch on.
Take it easy,
Pat
