After graduation in '62, I attended the University of Connecticut and earned a B.A. in English Literature. While briefly teaching 7th Grade English in Woodbury (and I do mean briefly!), Uncle Sam came knocking on my door. I attended Infantry Officers Candidate School at Fort Benning, Georgia after Basic Training at Fort Dix. Upon being commissioned a 2nd Lt. in May 1969, I was sent to Fort Riley, Kansas, where I met my future wife only a few weeks later. Barbara and I were married that September and I left for Vietnam after Christmas. I served as a 1st Lt. Infantry Platoon Leader during all of 1970 and returned in late December of that year. Barbara and I settled in Abilene, Kansas, and waited to start our family...Expand for more
until after I completed my M.B.A. at Kansas State University in May 1974. I spent most of my working career in the pharmaceutical and allied medical areas in sales and management. Our first daughter, Jessica, was born in 1974 and graduated from Vassar College and Vanderbilt University School of Law. She now lives in Houston. During this time Barbara continued to teach 4th and 5th Grades in Abilene, and work toward her M.S. in Education, which she completed in 1976. Our second daughter, Rachael, was born in 1978 and lives in Scottsdale, She has a BS Degree from Arizona State University. In 1982 we moved from Abilene to Omaha, Nebraska, where we lived for 24 years. We are both retired and currently reside in Corte Bella County Club located in the Valley of the Sun to the northwest of Phoenix, Arizona.
