John's Story

After graduating from high school, I spent three semesters at Stevens before deciding that I really didn't want to be and engineer. I'd been working at Canoe Brook CC during the summer. I thought that being a greens keeper would be fun. I applied to Rutgers and graduated with a BS in plant science. I went to work for Bowling Green Golf Club in Milton, NJ. The course was still under construction when I started. Nine holes were open for play the following spring, and the second nine opened in mid summer.

They received a grant from the EPA to prepare an Water Quality Management Plan for the County, which included the Lake Hopatcong drainage area in Morris County under section 208 of the Clean Water Act. We moved from Chatham to Sparta into a house that was built in 1774. The house was on 5 acres, which allowed for a large vegetable garden. We spent several years restoring the house, and filling it with period antiques. I was then working as a compliance manager for a hazardous waste treatment facility in NJ. I subsequently went to work for AWD technologies in Fairfield. I spent several years working on two Superfund Sires in NJ (Lone Pine and Lipari landfills). In 1990 they moved the Fairfield office, and we decided to retire to Maine where we had spent many summer vacations. We are now happily living in Wiscasset.
