Craig's Story
After graduating from the U. of MO with a Forest Management Degree, I left for Malaysia and two years in the Peace Corps. I married while there and though we're now divorced after 15 years and two kids (26 and 20), we are very close friends - both living and working/retired in Boulder Colorado.
I lived in Columbia MO for one year after the PC stint then moved to Boulder Colorado for a job with the Colorado State Forest Service - a branch of Colorado State University. I worked for CSFS for 28 years and retired in 2005.
I then worked for the Governors Energy Office for nearly two years and am now working half time for CSFS again - basically I'm semi-retired. I travel as much as the budget allows both nationally and internationally - can't get enough of it.
My son Justin is getting a Masters Degree from Parson's College in NYC and my daughter Janaki will be a Junior at CU this Fall - and will be doing a semester in Australia in January 2009. Like with her brother, I...Expand for more
will HAVE TO visit her to make sure things are ok in the land down under.
There's a few of us KHS folks here in Boulder and Colorado. I see quite a few KHS folks when we get together for the CU - MU football game every Fall. Every other year (we've been doing this for 14 years) it's in Columbia but we always come into Kirkwood to see "the gang" on Missouri years and some get out to Boulder on the Colorado years. It's been great keeping up with folks this way - and seeing kids grow up as each year's event unfolds.
I am currently in a band playing all those good old songs (not the "oldies") but classic songs from Neil Young, J.J. Cale, The Band, CSNY, Byrds, Van Morrison, Townes Van Zandt, Dylan, G. Parsons and the like. Can't put the web site on this but the name of our band is Too Much Jones. We do it for fun - not money - but it's great!
I look forward to catching up with some old (we're not old - it's just an expression) schoolmates. Take care and enjoy all!!!
