Robert's Story
Graduated Duke 1970.
Hippie phase for a couple of blurry years in Durham-Chapel Hill, NC.
Amateur road racing for a couple of years in the early 70's.
Some motorcycle racing.
Graduate study in journalism at UNC and Syracuse U.
Worked as news photographer, news and specials producer, and retired recently as executive news producer at WSYR-TV in Syracuse.
Married many years. Three grown kids, now enjoying being retired and an empty-nester.
Living on Oneida Lake in Cicero, NY. Enjoyed a sail boat for a few years, then bought a medium-sized power boat that was docked on our lake, but covered thousands of miles thanks to New York's wonderful canal system. Have travelled by water to Ithaca (Cayuga Lake) and Watkins Glen on Seneca Lake. Once boated to a race weekend, docked in the Glen marina, and hitched rides up to the track each day. Fun!
Other favorite one or two week water vacations included Kingston Ontario, and one of the greatest boating paradises on the planet, the Thousand Islands region on the Saint Lawrence River.

sold the boat after hearing that other people actually did other things with their weekends.

Enjoy taking the Z's to track events (Watkins Glen is close and challenging), car shows, cruise nights and club activities. The 350 has won a first and second place trophy, some "people's choice" awards. Both Syracuse and Rochester Z-clubs are very active with frequest & fun events.
Planning to sell our home (and some cars!) sometime in the next six months to one year and relocate to Prescott, AZ.
