Life
Hello fellow classmates,
I live in East Bridgewater, MA with my wife Debbie. We have a son Keith (41) and daughter Stephanie (37) and two grandsons (Keith's sons Cayden (16 years old) and Logan (13). I retired as the Global Tech Support & Training Manager at Thermo Fisher Scientific in Franklin, MA in August 2021.

I was active in my children's activities (school, sports and social groups) and town activities, serving on many boards in both areas. For fun, I tinker with golf, getting together with friends and family, enjoy travel, visiting craft breweries and summer vacations to the coast of Maine.
I have done a fair amount of travel, both in the states and internationally (Western Europe, Australia, South America, Pacific Rim). Last trip to China was my 20th and saw many, many changes over a 23 year span. Much of this has been work related, but have had the chance to enjoy the sights and culture while conducting business.
Be safe, be healthy and be happy
Alan (as of June 2023)
