Lee's Story

AS I THINK F A C E B O O K DOES A BETTER JOB AS NRHS CONTACT SYSTEM, I AM GOING TO DISCONTINUE MY ENHANCED MEMBERSHIP HERE. MY E M A I L ADDRESS IS L K O N O W E AT M E . C O M AND MY T O L L F R E E NUMBER IDS 8 7 7 2 8 0 9 5 4 2. Following graduation from NRHS, I went off to attend my first of many years at various colleges & universities. My first year was at ill-fated Windham College, which closed shortly after my arrival! Next came C.W. Post College, where I essentially began all over again. After five years (takes longer when you are busy drinking & running the college radio station WCWP-FM 88.1 and still going) I graduate with my B.A. in Psychology. The beauty of Post College was it's proximity to the 1964 World's fair, where I got a job doing the theatrical lighting (thanks to Jack Kissell back at NRHS). This in turn led me to a lighting job at Radio City Music Hall, so I had made it to Broadway; well almost. With the B.A. completed, I was now so well equipped that the only job open to me was as a Methdone drug counselor in Harlem (not exactly New Rochelle) and then as a prison psychologist at Riker's Island (400+ acres of beautiful people and charming guards). From there it was off to Bridgeport University for the first of my two M.A.'s in Psychology. This was followed by an advanced degree at St. John's University (not bad for a guy that hardly ever attended classes at NRHS - thanks to a perpetual hall pass from Ms. Coons). Somewhere in here (January 26, 1973) along came son # 2 Josh. I now had two of the six children I would accumulate over the years to come. A move to Reston, Virginia;...Expand for more
one of two times I would do this, occurred in 1973 and then began the Ph.D. studies at The Catholic University of America (no jew goes catholic jokes please). On finally graduating with the Ph.D. (13 years of colleges & universities, it was time to move back to New York (Chappaqua actually). I became a full time faculty member at Pace; had an adjunct position at Columbia (could get in as a student, but they let me teach - go figure). About then divorce #1 happens (all my fault). Then a second marriage and another son Matt (definitely my fault). Then a second divorce (only somewhat my fault) and finally a marriage to my lifelong soul mate Denese. Denese had a son and daughter that became as much mine as could be and then at age 50 she gives me a present Taylor, just to round out the half dozen. Denese owned John Denver's famous Red Ram Restaurant in Colorado, which she sold just before John's fatal plane crash and we moved back to Reston. I took a position as the head of forensic sciences with The Fairfax Group (famous but can't talk about it intelligence firm) and Denese opened a real estate company (Envirian - now all across the U.S. and opening offices worldwide. And so in 2006 we moved to Christchurch, New Zealand where we added "Meg" the NZ sheepdog and where we are living in about the most beautiful and pleasant country in the world. As I wouldn't know how to relax totally, I am writing a book (should be finished by December 31, 2099) and produce applications for the Apple iPhone. Take this as an open invitation to visit us at any time! Skype "envirianceo" or call 703-391-9193 (Virginia). Lee
