I left Yale late Jan. 1961. Got married and went to work. I returned to Yale in the fall of 1962 with a wife and child and graduated in June ’63.
After several different sales jobs I landed in the paper business. I am in my 46th year, and I think that I’ll stay with it.
My wife Frances and I have a great home on Lake Erie in Mentor, Ohio. I have three grown children, four grandsons and three dogs. I have most of my teeth. some brain cells and a great love for the class of 1961
