Sean Farrell's Story

Life After graduating from Wheaton High School in 1969 I proceeded to dawdle for six years at Montgomery College, working various jobs along the way, and for Young Life at Churchill High School, before graduating and transferring to Maryland and then to American University. I graduated from AU in 1978 with a degree in philosophy and in theology. I went to work at Chestnut Lodge Hospital where I studied psychoanalytical theory and ended up in the Ph.D. program in history at American. In 1984 I married one Julie Gilroy, we moved from D.C. to Silver Spring in 1987 and I completed my doctorate in 1989 specializing in Modern Britain, Ireland and the History of Ideas. In 1990 I took a job at Oakland University in the suburbs of Detroit, was tenured and promoted to Associate Professor in 1995. Julie and I divorced in 1992. My sisters Erin and Kevan live in Columbia MD and Olympia Washington and I still am in touch with many folks from the Washington area, especially Ron Benenson, Maybin Baker, Tim Twomey, Greg Gochenour, Kathy and Ray Steckman, Chris Bruce, Anne Stultz, the Yu sisters, and of course, Claire Nordlander. My parents passed away in 1981. Most of my time is spent teaching and writing and I am working on my second book,...Expand for more
spending summers in Ireland with my family, friends, and professional colleagues. I will always miss Sue Anderson, Marcia Levine, Ed Fishman, the Mckay brothers, Fred Smith, Gayle Wright, Ginny Rodgers, Pam Nixon, David Marker, Roxie Linthicum, Alan Vandendriessche, Mike Bryan, Tom Hedstrom of course, Dave Culpepper, and the always fabulous Lynn Levanthal. I got married in dec 2010 to my long suffering companion Marianne Janczarek here in Michigan. I think about Wheaton and home often. I am not nostalgic by nature but the memories of it seem more wistful with age. There are just a few older folks in my old neighborhood on Moray Road that I know, and the neighborhood is different. Gone are the WWII vets but the place is more diverse and that is to the good. My god the dining options in Wheaton now. Back then it was Pops Pizza, Anglers Inn, Wah Qu, Sir Walter Raleigh and that was about it. A number of people have commented on my list of publications. I am proud of these of course but am more struck with how much more I should have done. We start to see ourselves more clearly with time but I know that the core of my closest friends back then stand up as decent and interesting people and of that I will always be grateful.

Mom
My Doctor Octavius Cocktail at Marrow in Detroit.  Lavender infused gin,Zucca, Cointreau, apple cider vinegar, honey, orange peel.  Most “Craft” cocktails leave me cold but this drink was stunning.  Had to have two.
Have to talk about Fascism in my summer course.
