Martin's Story
Life:
Graduated University of Bridgeport in 81'. Got a BS Bio-Medical Engineering degree. A friggin miracle that was. I live in Portland, ME now (2020) which is a great place to be, especially during this COVID-19 thing!
Sometime in my mid twenties I joined a drinking club with a running problem. I ran the NY Marathon in 87' 88' 89' & 90' but only half of it in 92'. In 2008 at 50 yrs old I ran the NYM again, and in 2009 I ran the Marine Corps Marathon in DC. Since then, for long distance stuff, I've stuck to biking and hiking. I haven't missed a year of downhill skiing since 1964!

geport, CT. We lived and worked in southern CT from 81'-94' and moved to NH in 94' while chasing work. We had three boys. The first born in 90', the 2nd in 93' and the 3rd in 97'. All are doing well!
I became an independent consultant in 2001'. I'm still an independent consultant type and loving it. Politics and I never did work well.. In Jan. 2009' Candice chased an ex living in Oklahoma. We finally divorced in 2013. Since then I met a wonderful lady on-line via chemistry.com. I moved from NH to Portland, ME in 2019 where we live together.
My brother Ron (John Jay class of 84') lives in Hoboken, is married and doing well.
