Michael's Story
Life
I got the heck out of the River Road area as quick as my old Peugeot UO8 would take me (okay, it took a few trips). After living down by campus, taking a few classes a term, and working at Williams Bakery for 5 years, I moved to Bend for a couple years (Great town in1979, and a nice city now - though with a lot more espresso stops).
Moved to Portland in '81, then to Corvallis in '85 to study Engineering at OSU. Worked as a design engineer at a Chevron refinery near San Francisco for awhile. Went to graduate school at Berkeley. Took my MBA and came back to Oregon to work for HP - first in Finance, now in Marketing.
Along the way, I met and married Cindy. We were blessed in '99 with a beautiful daughter, Madeleine - pictured at the left, after a p...Expand for more

I'm looking forward to the reunion(next week as I write this).
I think they routinely delete e-mail addresses from these bios, so let me just say that I can be reached at 'mcmnewton', and the provider is comcast-dot-net. (They'll probably snip this one, too. I'm not all that clever!)
College
I finally got serious about college after a few years out in the world. I studied all the d##$ time. In all my time at OSU, I went to one football game (of course that was before the beavers got so good!)
