Patrick's Story
Life
After several years (most of the 1980s) of being a somewhat aimless goofball living in the Netherlands, Germany, and the exotic evirons of Sacramento, I actually started and finished college. I graduated from UC Santa Cruz (where, during my senior year at age 29, I may have been the oldest rookie ever to play on the Rugby team) with a degree in economics. I moved back to Yuba City for a couple of years while working for the Sutter County Office of Education and applying to grad school.
I attended the School of International & Public Affairs at Columbia University where I got a masterÂs in public policy & administration. After a thankfully brief stint working for the City of New York I began working for Moody's Investors Service as an...Expand for more
analayst in the Public Finance Group. I now work in the San Francisco office and rate municipal bonds in most of the western states. Oddly enough, I even rated the Yuba City Unified bond issue (rated A3) last year.
I live here in the city near Golden Gate Park and try to ride my mountain bike whenever I can or play golf (which is a new development) from time to time. I stay in regular contact with several members of the Class of Â81, including Eric Swift who also works here in SF. IÂm still single although I once dated the same woman for over a year (a personal best).
Has anyone heard from Karl Vickner? How about Tony Biddle?
I look forward to seeing many of you at the reunion (see my bulletin board posting on Alumni.Net).
