Marital Status:Married No. of Children:2

From Peter:Its been fun reading about everyone. It seems amazing to me that so much time has passed since High School - many memories are still strong.

The quick version...

From DHS to University of Delaware for Electrical Engineering. Two years later took a two year hiatus to visit the scenic Mekong River. Had as much fun as I could there, came back to Darien, married a high school sweatheart from Norwalk, went back to Delaware to finish school - this time with a combo EE and Bus Admin major.

Got a job with Hewlett Packard (where I ran into Dick Myrick years later) after graduation. Worked at HP (and its spinoff Agilent Technologies) for 30 years before being "right-sized" (It was OK, 30 years is long enough). My tour of duty with HP took me to Paramus, NJ, Rockville, MD, back to NJ (Rockaway) then to White Plains, Bridgeport and Wappinger Falls, NY. Finally I relocated to Fort Collins, CO in 1991 where I remain.

Today I am starting up a new business selling therapeutic lasers to manual therapists, PTs, chripractors and the like. My business partner is my wife Cathy who is a PT and a Rolfer herself.

Family-wise had a daughter Sara and son Blake but finally divorced after 16+ years of marriage. Married again, this time to my soul mate, after moving to Colorado.

My daughter blessed me with a grandson last year and now makes her home in a suburb of Raleigh, NC, but my son remains an eligible bachelor in the process of relocating from Cleveland to Miami where he will be the tournament director for a new LPGA event.

I hope you all have a wonderful time at the reunion. Its been great reconnecting with Alan and others. Best to all.

Now

Occupation:College Professor Website:www.sbm.temple.edu/faculty/dhopkins/ Marital Status:Married No. of Children:1

From Don:I earned a PhD from Penn State in 1983. Since then I have been a professor at Temple University in Philadelphia, PA. I earned tenure around 1988 and was department chair for many years. For much of my time at Temple I focused on research and publishing. Now I mostly enjoy teaching undergraduates more than graduate students or doing research. Undergraduates have a lot more energy and interest in learning for learnings' sake. I have been married for about twenty years. My wife is a school teacher (now retired) for the Philadelphia school district. My son, who is now 18, is about to start college this fall. He will be at Temple studying history and political science. Though I could retire in a couple of years, I probably won't since I still enjoy teaching. I am very interested in restoring vintage Porsches. I am almost finished rebuilding a 1969 911S right now. I am also very much into playing jazz guitar. Over the years I have become quite a history buff . I look forward to catching up with old classmates and especially those from our unbeaten track team.
