RICHARD's Story
Hi All. After Sunny Hills, I attended UC Irvine, where I was on the swimming and water polo team my freshman year. I received degrees in Biology and Chemistry, and went on to medical school at the University of Chicago. After doing a surgical internship at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, I went on to do research at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City, and stayed in New York to do my pathology residency at Cornell/New York Hospital and a couple of fellowships. A key event in New York was that I met my future wife, Annie. We moved back to SoCal when I joined the faculty at USC Keck School of Medicine, first moving to the waterfront in Marina del Rey and then to Westwood/Little Holmby, where Annie and I raised 3 kids, Nick and Juliet (twins) and Gracie.

SC, I joined the University of Miami as Chair of the Department of Pathology and moved to Coconut Grove. In 2019 I accepted the position as Chair of the Department of Pathology and Immunology at Washington University School of Medicine and Annie and I moved to St. Louis as not so empty nesters with our dogs (Hank, a German Shorthair Pointer, and Charlie, a King Charles Cavalier Spaniel), and acquired a Russian Blue cat to top it off! Right around that time we built a home in the Deer Valley area of Utah, where the kids (who all live in Brooklyn) our dog and cat, and their cats frequently come to visit, ski, hike and golf. My dad still lives in Fullerton and I frequently visit him and my best high school friend, Hyman Katz, who lives in Santa Monica. I often think back on the great times at Sunny Hills.
