Builder/Retired

Hello - I live on an island in the San Juan Island area of NW Washington. I bought the oldest house on the island 10 years after graduation from Darien and restored it to look like an east coast beach house, it turns out, with my sweet partner, Penny. I was a builder for many years, after being a corporate and black & white photographer, traveller in my VW vans, and manager for an international power supply company. I have two lovely daughters and their families including two grandsons. I spend summers sailing, on our Boston Whaler, wooden row boat, and kayaks, and winters (this last one) in the Azores with my newly discovered family cousins. If any of you are in the area and would like to go for a sail or just sit on a restful Pacific Northwest beach, get in touch. Steven  Send Steve a Message

It's been a long time, hasn't it? We've all changed, hopefully for the better. Life has treated me well. I graduated from the University of Maine in 1971, and married my husband, Don, shortly thereafter. We've lived in a small town in Downeast Maine since 1971. In 1978 I was hired by the Georgia Pacific paper mill and eventually ended up an office manager in Wood Procurement. After a reorganization in 2003 I went back to school and studied medical billing and coding. Before that course ended I was hired at a local doctor's office and worked in billing and coding until my retirement in 2013. We have 2 children: son Bryan, who is a cook at the Appalachian Mountain Club lodge Medawisla in northern Maine; and daughter Kate Porter, who is an oncology nurse at Lafayette Family Cancer of Maine. Kate has given us two precious granddaughters, Gwen and Gracie.

It’s hard to believe so much time has gone by. To think of the things we’ve all seen and the places we have been.After DHS I attended college and then joined the USAF ahead of the Draft. My tour of duty included a year in Saigon and a few years in the Sacramento Valley at Travis AFB. UCONN welcomed me upon my release, and I graduated BSCE which became my path. I earned a professional engineering license shortly after graduation and have worked in structural engineering and construction now for 40 years, accumulating other licenses and gaining a body of knowledge along the way. I have been fortunate to have worked on exciting projects such as the World Trade Center rebuild, JFK AirTrain, a few moveable bridges, a power plant, and presently the new Moynihan Station adjacent to Penn Station. My wife Nancy and I have been married for 33 years. We live in Darien. Our daughter Lindsay graduated 2nd in the Class of ’11, then on to Dartmouth ’15, and is now at Morgan Stanley. I consider myself blessed to have grown up in Darien, where the bar is set higher. And I am impressed by the successes I see in my classmates. I wish you all good health and hope to see you at many more reunions. Send Thomas a Message

Hi all – Oh boy! I’m going to make it to the big 5-0. My last submission was 10 years ago. Some things have changed and a bit more’s happened:DHS to Boston University. Started in engineering but panicked when I just couldn't do math anymore. Xferred into political science. Did a bit to end that damn war while learning just enough to get a BA. I wasn't a slacker; I just wasn't much interested in learning. The woman I was living with got into UC Berkeley grad school so I split for the coast. With no specific ambition or inner voice to guide me, I took a job in a warehouse in Oakland, CA, and quickly rose from order puller to head of the shipping department. Ever work with junkies? Don't you love their mood swings. Left that when I realized I had peaked at 24, dithered around at some other dead end jobs, until I got my big break: I was hired in '76 to write technical manuals for IMSAI, a microcomputer manufacturer. (Google it or read "Fire in the Valley.") A career in high tech is born. Sidebar: You gotta laugh. Some people work hard and long to prepare their career. I landed in mine because I'd taken touch typing in junior high summer school, had a knack for computer programming, and won a virtual coin flip (my boss drew some of her wits from the cosmos and used the direction that her necklace swung to pick among the applicants). I'm curious: How many of you planned your career? Who had they're career find them? IMSAI turned out to be one of the birthplaces of desktop computers. Wild times, fast times, high times (I never had a problem with that, although I do only somewhat jokingly refer to the late 70s/early 80s as my lost decade.) Within a couple of years, though, it crashed. I moved on to another desktop computer company in San Francisco (more wild, fast, high times; watch out for that cocaine-speed kills), and then went to work for Digital Research (again, worth googling). For this I left Oakland (a great city by the way) and moved to Pacific Grove, CA, where I live today. It's ironic - I prefer living in a big city but PG's profile is much like Darien's - go figure. I migrated from tech writing into product management. At Digital Research I managed the design, promotion, and sales of an operating system. You wouldn’t have heard of it but it was used in complex point of sales systems at big-store retailers such as WalMart, Safeway, and Costco. Digital Research collapsed too. I then worked for a security software company. Here, I worked with the former Deputy Director of the NSA. (Warning: don’t work for companies that develop security software, they’re full of very paranoid people.) It too collapsed (there’s a lot of crashing and burning in Silicon Valley). At my next stop I became the proud papa of a real-time, publish subscribe middleware product that has gone on to some big things in its little markets. As it turns out, I’m quite the propeller head. This company did not collapse, but the president and I never got along (I never learned how to manage up).Thus ended my product management career in 01. Good thing though, I was pretty burned out. Since then, there were a couple of jobs as a lowly tech writer until I retired in ’15. Long, strange trip indeed. I never hit the stock option jackpot but got tons of other perqs: traveled all over the US and to Europe and Asia (be sure to go to the street markets in Seoul, Tokyo, and Taipei - major sensory overload) on the company dime and hobnobbed with lots of brilliant, creative, and bizarre people. The wife and I are living a very comfortable life now, without too many scars and enough good memories to entertain my table when we move to the assisted living facility. Demographics: Married since '83 after living together since ‘74 (who's afraid of commitment?). No kids (we love kids, especially when their parents take 'em home). Retired but doing a lot of work for a non-profit (Kernespool.org) and occasionally some writing for fun. If you visit the Monterey Bay Aquarium, give me a call; I live just up the hill. I’m also on FB but don’t post much. Re the pictures: These are my CA driver license pics since '71. They're kind of a hoot and tell a story by themselves. Since the last one (lower right), the hair's a lot grayer and thinner, my face has sprung a lot of lines, and I'm 40% broader. Send Peter a Message
