WHASSUP since 1960?? Went off to college at St. Olaf College in Minnesota then took a job in the industrial water treatment industry in Chicago, and got an MBA from University of Chicago. After 9 years in Chicago changed companies from Nalco to Drew and moved to New Jersey in 1973. Have been with Drew, now part of Ashland Inc, for 31 years. For much of this time I have been in the International Operations-as Vice President, Asia Pacific, for the last 15 years. This has given me a chance/requirement to travel extensively. I certainly had no idea that I would end up so much of the world and be on every continent except Antarctica. Married in 1973 to Jo Lynn, who came as a package deal-wife, daughter and son-and we added another daughter. All are now married with their own families-9 grandchildren, and one great grandchild.
WHASSUP now? After 41 years in the water treatment industry, and 31 years with the same company, I am going to retire the end of March 2005. Plans are still developing after that, but first I am going to have to catch up on all the projects around the house that haven't been finished because of the 50% + travel schedule. The house projects accumulate because the house is an old stone house built in 1842 and sits on several acres of property that also need attention.
Who have you kept in touch with? Sorry haven't been in touch with anyone, and it has been years since I have been back at the Lake.
What is the chance of you making a 45th reunion or a 50th?? Don't know how things will develop, but it is on the radar screen.
Please tell us your favorite song-pet-Hobby- Caring for the house and property has been the major hobby for the last few years, but am looking forward to the chance to resume sailing, and perhaps have a chance to take up golf now that I will be retired in few months.
