Barry's Story

Hello classmates! It’s been a long while, for sure. As I scrolled through classmate names I realized that I recognized very few names and even fewer faces. Which makes sense since I left Colorado right after graduation, returning for just two reunions (the decade reunion and our fiftieth). So much time has passed! And so many changes that I thought a reintroduction might be a good idea. Spoiler alert: I’m no longer the nerdy non-Christian guy no female classmate would even consider dating. Here goes: After graduation, I went to Minnesota to attend Macalester College and then stayed in Minnesota for fifty years where I got married, helped raise two kids, got really good at skiing, competed at a high level in short course triathlons, got divorced, went on Match, met the very beautiful, very kind and very smart woman I’d wished I’d found several decades ago, moved to Florida at the behest of my largest client and got married to Elizabeth on Huntington Beach during a brief moment when Covid was muted.

After living a moderate version of Mad Men, I burned out on the ad biz and, ever since I have been an advisor, consultant and strategist in the financial world. In 2016 my job took me to Florida. Now, thanks to Covid creating the opportunity to work remotely anywhere, my wife and I are in a long process of moving back to St.Paul, Minnesota, land of ten thousand lakes, Garrison Keillor, Prince, the Mayo Clinic and people so nice they stop in the middle of the street to let you cross. Health wise, I’ve been gene pool lucky, but also work at staying fit. Elizabeth and I do Pilates twice a week with a most remarkable trainer, walk a lot, have dance nights wherever we are twice a week and love cooking for ourselves and our friends. Obviously, unless you’re either in the southeast corner of Florida or in the Twin Cities, even if any of you wanted to, getting together would be challenging, if not impossible.
