Paul's Story

Hi, All you crazy Mountaineers! I was class President for 1968-69 and 1969-70. I played Fagin in "Oliver!" I did 4 out of 5 shows, then became very ill/hospitalized. So our Director, Mary Foley, put on the old man's garb and did the 5th show. The "Then" photo is a very grainy picture of the WRHS Thespian Club. I graduated from Emerson College in 1974, with a BFA in Journalism (edited the school newspaper, The Berkeley Beacon). Then I went back to Emerson and got a masters degree in theatrical production design. I spent the first eight years after college as an independent lighting and set design contractor. In the mid-80's, I went to work for the City of Boston and eventually became Senior Complaints Manager for the Boston Consumers Council. From 1986-1994, I worked in Long Beach CA as manager of a local cable station; video production, editing, set design. lighting, and department manager, video graphics designer -- the whole Megilla!

4, I returned to Arlington MA, and worked in Newton for the Newton Communications Access Center. We ran public, governmental and educational access TV channels. Started in a musty basement with one studio and a couple edit rooms. Supervised the building of a new access facility (i.e. where the public/student/teachers/elected officials produce their own TV shows) with two studios, four edit rooms, an office for everyone on my 10 person staff... very good times. Had that job for 14 years, until 2008. Blah, blah, blah...health problems...blah,blah, blah.... 61 years old now, with rheumatoid arthritis of the hips. On disability, and walk with a cane. But I still get around, living a block from the T Green Line in Brighton. The City of Boston is my oyster! Looking forward to our 50th Reunion in 2020!!! If you've read this far, you can have my home phone #, especially anyone thinking about reunion plans 7 years from now. 617-208-8082. Buh-bye!
