Stephen Lullmann:  

Fifty years is a long time....but at age 35 you thought you'd never get to retirement..and now you wonder where the years went! After a year and a half at UofF, transferred to a small liberal arts college, Lake Forest College, Il, and graduated with a BA in Eng. Lit. Lettered in Baseball 3 years and graduated in Dec. '64. In Aug 65 volunteered for US Army and served 3 years as a Military Intelligence Investigator in plain clothes, including a tour in South Viet Nam from Aug '67-Aug'68. Returning home to NJ, worked for a year as a newspaper reporter before heading out on my BMW motorcycle and touring Canada for over a month meeting people and taking in the scenery.

I have been self employed in the building and real estate business in Ma, NH, Maine, and Florida over the past 35 years. The last 15 years, prior to retiring to SC in 2005, were on the Coast of Maine where I had an office in Northeast Harbor and specialized in new construction, but mostly reconstruction and remodeling of grand old "summer cottages" owned by the very wealthy. My last project was turning a 15,000 square foot brick school building into a state of the art private residence including an addition for a complete squash court with costs exceeding $2 million dollars. In addition to our home on Pawleys Island, SC, we have a vacation home on Hutchinson Island, Fl. that we rent during peak season, and visit twice a year. Major interests now are getting back to golf, and sharing visits to local nursing homes with our Certified Therapy Dog, "Bear", a golden retriever with special empathy for all humans! He can even be "Googled" under" Bear Lullmann "...seems no one can remain hidden anymore! Also attend a few car shows with my restored and customized 66 Ford Mustang GT, most mostly take it out on the weekends to cruise the beach looking for a White Castle, with no luck! We also have a loose group of sportman who enjoy shooting clays at a local sporting and hunting facility known as "The Backwoods Quail Club" and try for an outing at least once a month. Through Classmates have reconnected with a great pal from Grammar School who golfs with me during the winter in SC, and a FLHS friend, Ron Magehy who also attended the same grammar school in NJ and who I ran into my first day as a transfer into FLHS as a junior after 2 years in a naval prep school in NJ. Ron was kind enough to take me for my driving test in Fl., and through our mutual friend, he has also reconnected with some of his frien...Expand for more
