Michael's Story
Nearly 40 years have passed since 1982 (good God, can it possibly have been so long...) - seems so long ago, but many memories still remain fresh as the day of their occurrence. Hope that all who read this are in good health and experiencing all that life has to offer. I wish everyone good health and unbounded success in the future. My travels have taken me and my family from Maryland to Seattle to Houston to Alexandia, VA back to Seattle, to Tucson, and now (hopefully finally!) back to Allentown, PA. I grew up in Reading, PA, so it seems that God still has a sense of humor - I am relieved at that revelation.
I still remember the many friends from South Carroll, friends from a central Maryland community that may be gone, but is definitely not forgotten. While we've all grown older and central Maryland may have changed, we all still share a special bond that grew only through the time and experiences that we shared together - I am PROFOUNDLY thankful for that time, thank you all!.
For those who are interested, a few brief facts about what I've done and where I've been. I am currently in-house IP counsel with an electronics firm in Coopersburg, PA. Prior to moving back to PA, I practiced as a patent attorney working for a small boutique IP law firm in Tucson, AZ. I have three sons, the oldest a practicing CPA, the middle going through a K...Expand for more
erouac phase of life and the youngest an RN taking care of ER patients in Harrisburg, PA.
After leaving South Carroll, I went to the University of Maryland, received a degree in Chemical Engineering - I worked in the chemical industry for 20 years. During that time, I attended Johns Hopkins and ended up receiving a Masters Degree in Electrical Engineering. In 2004 I made the life changing decision to attend the University of Houston Law Center - competing against "kids" half my age! I am now a licensed patent attorney in multiple jurisdictions (TX, DC, WA, AZ, PA) - if I can help any of my fellow classmates, I encourage you to reach out.
On the lighter side, I still like "Mister Roberts;" I think "Miss Saigon" is the finest musical ever (tho' followed closely by "les Mis"); I think Johnny Depp OWNS the role of Capt. Jack Sparrow (followed very closely by Paul Newman as Butch Cassidy in "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid"; I still believe the original "Star Trek" and "Emergency" series had more plot and substance in a single episode than an entire season of current television; and I'm STILL waiting for the Detroit Lions to make a Super Bowl appearance (which will probably be the case until I die of old age at 143...).
I miss everyone and have very fond memories of South Carroll - I thank every one of you that made those memories possible.
