Joshua's Story
In a nut shell, I left Sarasota a month after graduating high school and served as a military working dog handler at Homestead AFB and RAF Lakenheath. I separated in '83 to study Russian at the University of California, Riverside (BA) and Leningrad State University in the Former Soviet Union. Went on to graduate school to study Public Finance at Indiana University's School of Public and Environmental Affairs (SPEA/MPA) and Comparative Economics at Indiana University's Russian and East European Institute (REEI/MA).
After graduate school, I went abroad again to work for the federal government in Lithuania and Russia. I relocated to DC in the autumn of '98 and worked for a short while with the World Bank.
I currently reside in a Maryland suburb of DC and work in the field of municipal bond consulting. I have a daughter who after studying abroad in Florence, Italy recently graduated...Expand for more
from the University of California, Irvine and currently works for an intellectual property law firm in NYC.
I'm active in wetlands (Ducks Unlimited) and coldwater (Trout Unlimited) conservation issues. In my spare time, I enjoy waterfowling with my Chocolate Labrador, "Silas," on the Delmarva Peninsula, fly-fishing the limestone spring creeks of central Pennsylvania, canoeing in the Adirondacks, hiking in Shenandoah National Park and skiing in the Sierras. I hope to retire soon to a little ranch in southwestern Montana.
Although I have not been back to Sarasota since 1986, I would like to touch base with anyone out there who is knowledgeable about the next reunion as I have missed the last three as a result of living out of state or out of country.
Also, if anyone out there is aware of the whereabouts of Stephanie Jones (SHS Class of '78), I would appreciate a note.
Thanks.
