| Update since 25th reunion: We have remained in Durham and, three years ago, bought a farmhouse which we are restoring. I continue to teach quilting and make quilts. I had double bypass surgery in 2000 and am doing well so far. Both offspring (Bill, 34 and Sarah, 32) are on their own; no grandchildren yet (only the figments of my imagination). Jim hopes to retire in a few years; he has taken up clock repair. We enjoy traveling, reading, bridge....all is well. | ||

The basic school and work thing. I have owned my own word processing business for the last 26 years, watching the incredible ups and downs of entrepreneurial enthusiasm over the years. Sam and I have been married for 28 years and have two daughters, Jen and Marina, age 29. Yea, twins and adopted. Both decided to get married this year six months apart! It's been a whirlwind year. We are now very proud grandparents of two girls. Cristina is eight years old and belongs to Marina. Sarah is 13 years old and is the daughter of Jen's new husband, Bryan. Marina and Larry (the other son-in-law) are expecting a child in March. Whew! We are on our third Old English Sheepdog. Bentley, and like Brenn Lea's dog, is perfect. Not quite two yet, so maybe perfect is a little ways off. |

After graduating, I went off to the University of Illinois to study engineering. I quit after eight weeks, bored with schooling and wanting to see the world. I hitchhiked around the country, then enlisted in the Army. I was trained as a journalist and after a year in Germany, ended up as an Army war correspondent in South Vietnam, working first for the 25th Infantry Division, then as a staff writer and photographer for Stars and Stripes. I was one of those rare and fortunate people who actually learned a skill in the Army that became a civilian career. After I was discharged, I returned to Champaign-Urbana and worked for the Courier Press, covering civil rights and antiwar demonstrations. But I eventually grew sick of the violence, and I retreated to a farm in bucolic southwest Wisconsin, where I and several companions grew our own food, raised animals and lived without television or newspapers for several years. Once I finished with farming, I went to work for the Associated Press in Madison, Wisconsin, covering state government and the intense closing years of antiwar demonstrations on the University of Wisconsin – Madison campus. A few years later, I decided to pursue every journalist's fantasy: I bought a weekly newspaper in Soldiers Grove, Wisconsin a few miles from where I had farmed. I moved back to the countryside and became a small-town publisher. Soldiers Grove was a flood-prone village on Wisconsin's Kickapoo River. It had suffered an average of one major flood each decade since the 1930s. At the time I became the local editor, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers was preparing to build a $3.5 million levee system around the village. Because the levee would protect only about $1 million in property and because the villagers couldn't afford the maintenance costs of the system, I proposed instead that the Corps spend the money to move the village out of the flood plain and help us rebuild it on higher ground. Although the Corps rejected the idea, Soldiers Grove managed to win sufficient funding to complete the project over the next decade. In the process, the community built the nation's first “solar village,” where each new building was required to obtain at least half its heating energy from the sun. The relocation and solar project drew national attention as a unique solution to flooding and energy-related pollution. The project was featured in countless magazine articles, several books and a PBS documentary titled “River Town.” Eventually, I sold the newspaper and returned to Madison to work for the State Energy Office, then the University of Wisconsin, designing education programs on solar energy and energy conservation. Then I returned to newspapering, becoming the editorial page editor of the Wisconsin State Journal in Madison. Some years later, in rapid succession, I became a research director in the Wisconsin State Senate; Executive Assistant to the Attorney General in Wisconsin; Chief Counsel for Advocacy and Counselor to the Administrator of the U.S. Small Business Administration in Washington, D.C.; and special assistant to the Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy at the U.S. Department of Energy in Washington. I moved to Golden, Colorado, 1997 to become the director of DOE's Denver Region, where I lead a staff of 30 whose mission is to encourage the use of renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies in a 12-state area stretching from Montana to Louisiana. Among other things, I founded DOE's Center of Excellence for Sustainable Development, which helps communities learn about and practice the principles of sustainability, and I lecture internationally on the subject. To keep some semblance of balance, I study music (blues guitar and voice) and I've resumed photography, this time focusing on serene natural landscapes in the western United States. My work is exhibited at various locations in the Denver area. I have been married the last 20 years to Mary Louise Becker (formerly Masino of Madison, Wisconsin. I have five children (a son and daughter by my first marriage to Mary Hollinger, classmate; and three stepchildren) and two grandchildren. |

| I graduated from The Citadel in 1968 and received a commission as a 2nd Lieutenant in the regular Army. I went Airborne and Ranger then volunteered for duty in Vietnam and served with the 75th Rangers. I was wounded and sent home, volunteered to go back, was wounded again and sent home again. I was medically retired from the Army for wounds received in combat on 8/14/71 and entered on duty with the FBI as a Special Agent 8/16/71, one of only a handful of combat disabled veterans to be hired as Agents. I retired from the FBI as Supervisor of the Tallahassee and Gainesville, Florida Offices 6/1/2003. I finished my first novel about a month ago and am now beginning the search for an agent/publisher. Both our children were born and raised in Tallahassee and Ryan just graduated from Florida State University and Cristina is a sophomore at FSU. (I am writing this while experiencing tropical storm winds from Hurricane Jeanne) I coached both of our children in baseball, basketball, flag football and soccer for seven years. As they grew up, our children were my hobby. Now Edie and I travel, having been to England, France, Italy, the Antilles, Hawaii, Mexico, Jamaica and so on. No matter where we go, there is no place like the good ole USA. Now I concentrate on writing and taking care of my 94 year old mother. I anticipate going back to work for the FBI in the next month as a contract employee to work terrorism related matters. | ||
