MARITAL STATUS: Married to Pat Mahoney in 1958. We had 4 daughters, all of whom live in California. I remarried in 1994 to Chris, who has a son and a daughter who also live in California. We have a total of 7 grandchildren. We also have a home in Palm Desert to enable us to visit the family and to avoid winter in Vermont.

HIGHLIGHTS OF YOUR LIFE: After graduating from Iowa State, I went to Law School in San Francisco and was admitted to the California Bar. I began my legal career at a major bank and progressed to the position of General Counsel. I was Chief Trial Attorney and head of a Legal Department with 24 lawyers in 3 states. After 17 or so years, I wanted to spend more time perusing my passion for sailing. I took early retirement and spent much of the next 3 years sailing. I had 2 boats at different locations, a 37 foot Hunter and a 43 foot Hans Christian. In addition to sailing my boats I chartered boats in various parts of the world to permit me to sail in the Caribbean, the American Virgin Islands, the British Virgin Islands, the Netherlands Antilles, the French West Indies, Tahiti (twice) , the Greek Islands, and the Sea of Cortez. It was in the Sea of Cortez that I met Chris, and we've been sailing together ever since. After all this sailing I needed a break from the sea and went to work for a small bank in California as General Counsel to start an in house Legal Department. This went well, but it seemed too much like work, so I retired again after 6 years. Chris and I traveled all over to look for a place we would like to retire, and after buying another boat and sailing in the Bahamas for a while, we picked Vermont as our primary residence.

RETIREMENT FUN: When we are in Vermont we spend our time antiquing, looking for old books, gardening, boating on the lake, playing golf, and enjoying the New England way of life. When we are in Palm Desert, we swim, play tennis, golf, and visit the kids and grandkids.

MEMORIES FROM YOUR SCHOOL DAYS: I enjoyed going to basketball games and throwing snowballs at passing cars with Al.
