Biographies O-ZCELIA OPPENHEIMER (FRANCIS) '65Spouse: Richard Francis LAKESHIA ORR (KIDD) '91Spouse: Leroy Kidd ROBERT OSBORNE '66Home: Chicago, IL CECIL PATMON '55Spouse: Martha After HP graduation in 1955, I entered the United States Marine Corps. Spent three years and discovered I was not cut out for military life though I value the experience. A year after discharge I found myself a student in the professional nursing program at the Alexian Brothers School of Nursing on the north side of Chicago. This was a three year program leading to a diploma in nursing. After passing Boards I went to work for the Municipal Tuberculosis Sanitarium clinic at 35th and Michigan. I later worked at Provident Hospital, Grant Hospital and Roseland Hospital in varying nursing positions. While I was at Provident I met my wife,Martha of 41 years. We have three children, Pamela, a student at University of Arkansas at Little Rock, Cecily, a Nurse-Practitioner in Oak Ridge, TN and Kenneth, a policeman in Houston, TX., and seven grand-children. I joined the Illinois Department of Corrections as Director of Medical
Services in 1972 and have spent the intervening years somewhere in the Criminal
Justice system, primarily as a Health Services Administrator. I have managed
health care systems in Illinois, Texas, California, Arkansas, Maine and Georgia.
It has been an interesting, if surprising, career. I figure I've done more time
than Charlie Manson, just eight hours at a time. I am currently residing in
Little Rock, Arkansas and consulting with community-based programs interested in
accreditation. I welcome hearing from HP Alumni by phone 240-305-3436 or email

JAY PERZAN '52Spouse: Rochelle LILA PIERCE (JOHNSON) '55Spouse: Dennis BOB PIOSO '53Spouse: Gail Goldberg Pioso Retired Founder, of Med-Assist, Inc. Milwaukee, WI. We were providers
of First-Aid, Safety Supplies, First-Aid, CPR and OSHA Training Classes and
related emergency medical equipment. Products and services were marketed and
sold to business, industry and government agencies. PAT PLATT (ROSENZWEIG) '57Home: Chicago, IL No kids; born in '39; Hyde Park and University of Chicago graduate. Most of my career has been on the business side of architecture. Retired last month and lecture on business of architecture; do career counseling at CAPS, Career Advising and Planning Services at U of C, and have a burgeoning knitting business. I sell my baby sweaters at Artisans 21 in Harper Court. 4/30/07 MARC "TITO" POIS '61Home: Pittsburgh, PA TRACEY POLK (McCOY)Spouse: Michael LIZABETH PRESKILL (GLUCK) '62Having made no other plans for my further education, by default, I went downstate to Champaign/Urbana for college. This in itself should have been a life lesson in making better plans. I hated it. I made some good friends there, but as a school it was a disaster. After a year there I spent another year in a small college and then coerced, conned, or acquiesced in the decision to move to San Francisco (went with David Alinsky [for those of you who know him] and two others not from HP). We rolled right into the mid-sixties in SF, where I should have hung out and been a gritty hippie, but being the child of very conventional parents tried to do the "get a job go back to school bit." In effect this did happen - though David wound up in the US Air Force as the result of a draft letter inviting him into the service. I stayed in SF and managed to get my degree in Sociology from SF State. Liked the school and the city but shivered in the fog. In 1967, I married Ethan David Gluck, who was a nice Jewish boy from New Jersey (who ever would have thought!). I had known him for three years, though most of that time he had been in New Jersey. He came out to SF in the summer of ‘67 and we were married in September (with Lew Engel, Shirley Redmond [Brandy Engel], and Anne Draznin in attendance. It was a great time. In Feb of 1998 Ethan and I moved to Boston and discovered for ourselves what others have reported in their bios here -- Boston doesn't much take to outsiders. Ethan was working as a landscape designer, and I was working in the social services department of Quincy Hospital. There was a lot to appreciate about the east but we knew we'd be better off in California. We returned to San Francisco in the spring of 1969. I went to work for the University of California Dept of Surgery as an editorial assistant while Ethan went to school and worked for landscape design firms. The future looked bright, we had plans made (fools), but in December of1970, Ethan was killed in an automobile wreck This rather altered the direction of my life -- meaning I was adrift. It may also be the last time I planned anything more than two weeks in advance in my life. My career has been fairly knock around -- office administration, desktop publishing, computers. . .I spent three years living on the Monterey peninsula which is lovely, but had no career opportunities, so I returned to SF. I have been living in Marin County since 1980. To keep bread and butter on the table I have been working as a computer consultant (who hasn't?) for the past 12 years. I started out teaching people how to use word processing programs in the days when people were making the transition from typewriters to PCs - thus the name of my consulting business --- "Word Perfection." It has progressed beyond that and I do training and consulting in database management, etc., etc. I enjoy, most, the teaching part. I have been very busy the last 15 years with my work and involvement with environmental activities. I served on the board of directors of the Marin chapter of the National Audubon Society for nine years, plus spending the last 11 years producing their newsletter. Made a lot of interesting friends through this and other organizations. Also, bird-watching as a hobby sends me to some off-the-beaten-track places to visit! When I travel for work, I always schlep along a pair of binoculars, hoping for good weather, and a few spare hours to search the parks or suburbs for birds. BERNIE "BUTCH" PRICE '61Spouse: Wanda ROGER PRICE '61Spouse: Marilyn The University of Michigan-1965, BA DAVID PROSTEN '62After graduating from HP I went to UW/Madison for a year, where I spent what at the time was way too many hours on the student daily. I left Madison, got a job as a copyboy on the Sun-Times (potential career highlight: changing Ann Landers' typewriter ribbons) and went on to reporting jobs in New Mexico (Clovis), New Jersey (Morristown and Newark) and New York City (the pre-Rupert Mudroch Post). I went on to work for a series of unions (Electrical Workers, 1199 [NY-area health care workers], AFSCME, Service Employees), generally writing for their newspapers and doing organizing and PR. For a period I reverted to reporting, for a labor news service, and bumped into classmate Carolyn White while sitting around the White House lawn waiting for some non-event to take place. Along the way I got a degree, from the State University of New York. I started a business in 1980. From offices in Washington and nearby Annapolis, Md. we publish books and subscriber-driven newsletters dealing with union and labor issues, all from the labor side (www.unionist.com will show you the wares). I live at the headwaters of Harness Creek in Annapolis, with Sarah Flynn and Treat, a black lab puppy who's on the way to filling the paw prints left by her predecessor, Kilty. Two practice marriages, no children. Some hair. KAREN PRUPES (WISKOFF) '64I graduated from the University of Illinois-Chicago Circle with a B.A. in
history and political science and did some further studies in history at
Northeastern Illinois University. My professors delighted in giving my
papers split grades: A+ for writing, and D- for content. Apparently, as a
historian, I would definitely need a day job. So, my professional career was
based on my major strength, an ability to string lots of nice words together
into coherent sentences: I was a writer/editor at Encyclopedia Britannica and
the American Osteopathic Association and a public relations officer at Saint
Joseph Hospital and the American Medical Association. WILMER "BILL" RADZINSKI '40Spouse: Floyanne ERIC RAUTENBERG '64Home: Oak Creek, WI After graduating from HPHS in 1964 I went to Loop College and then onward to the University of Wisconsin graduating in 1969 getting a BS degree. Fast forward to Vietnam War where I spent 4 years in CA as a USAF Special Services enlisted man. During almost 4 years in CA I got my MBA degree from Golden Gate U in San Francisco. Missing Chicago, I and my new wife traveled back to Chicago living on the North side and working in Evanston and for a time in the South Loop. After a few relocations I wound up what I call a Northern suburb of Chicago aka Oak Creek, Wisconsin, actually a burb of Milwaukee. Fast forward to the late 1980s where I now have 2 sons, both who joined the military, Army and Navy. Now divorced I met a gal and we have been living together (engaged!) for awhile ... ok 15 years. Since being in Wisconsin I've been an entrepreneur, Associate Director of an economic development corporation, self employed Management Consultant, Writer, College Instructor, and now I'm happy to say settled down as Family Service of Racine's (a family counseling Agency) Executive Director. We travel frequently and I still enjoy taking the train to Chicago, 59 minutes away via Amtrak or 90 minutes via METRA! 8/24/04 ALEXIS RAY (KENNEDY) '62Home: Chicago, IL ERMA REESE (JAUBERT) '62Home: Chicago, IL TOM REID '63Graduated Cornell College (IA) in 1967; MA and doctorate in psychology in 1969 & 71 respectively from University of Illinois.

BONIFACIO "PHOS" RIVERA 62½Spouse: Carole (nee Nowakowski) After HP attended city junior college. Joined US Air Force 1965. Stationed at a SAC base in Louisiana and later at Clark Air Base in the Philippines. Sent to Saigon, Vietnam during 1968 TET offensive. After discharge, went back to school to finish, Received BA in Poly Sci/Economics, Northeastern Ill U. Have one son, electrical engineer at Motorola in Schaumburg, IL. Carole and I live in Chicago on the north side in the Rogers Park neighborhood. Carole is a public school teacher running a computer lab and is the tech coordinator for her school. She is a graduate of South Shore High School WENDY ROBERSON '72Home: Evergreen Park, IL WALTER "WALLY" ROBERTS '63Business: Lockheed Martin Air Traffic Management - Advisory Financial Analyst Sheila and I have four children: Jasamyn 29 - Phillips Exeter Academy and Howard University graduate, Walter III 24 - Morehouse College graduate w/ honors, Rhina 22 - Davidson College w/ honors graduate, Geoffrey 18 - soon to graduate from a private afro centric High School in the District of Columbia. As for Sheila and I after completing the MBA program at the University of Chicago and a couple of years working for banks or CPAs in Chicago we moved to the great state of Colorado to raise our family. If you have not had the opportunity to visit Colorado you should take a vacation there in the foothills and especially in the mountains (take it easy as we have all aged somewhat since '63). After about twelve years there we returned to the southeast coast. In part to again continue the education of the children in a more urban environment and to prepare them for life's challenges by placing them in a more diverse and stimulating environment than the west offered. Washington DC offers all of the opposites of what Colorado provided without having to suffer the weather extremes and congestion of the northeast or midwest. We have enjoyed the past 13 years in chocolate city as have the kids. It is truly a capital city that offers everything and has something going on all of the time. We are due north of the White House off of 16th Street and the Carter Barron Amplitheater (history lesson: the White House is at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.). BOB "ROBBIE" ROBINSON '58Spouse: Florence Krueger (South Shore HS '58) Freshman and Sophomore years at HP; Junior and Senior years at So. Shore graduating '58. Married Oct. 7, 1958.

PATRICIA "DOLLY" ROCHELLE (WALLACE) '61Home: Chicago, IL I'm divorced after 13 yrs of marriage, have one son, Craig. I have no grandchildren at this time. I started the HP Club 61 Reunion Committee. We started in 1983 and we are bigger and better. We have scholarship fundraiser events every year to give back to the school. Our goal is to help our future and keep classmates in touch. YVONNE ROCKYMORE '65Home: Merriville, IN HENRY RODKIN '52½Spouse: Margaret MIKE ROGERS '62Spouse: Debbie JANET ROGOFF '60Spouse: Alan Lunsik MARGO ROMERO SZERMETA '63½Spouse: John (Deceased) I've been busy, married 4 times, divorced 3, and am now widowed...but dating! Never quite finished college, got to my senior year and still hadn't decided what I wanted to be when I grew up. Nothing has changed in that attitude either. I only changed my major 4 times! As you may be able to tell from the birth years, sons Tom & Steve are twins. I've been managing offices for close to 40 years, bookkeeping, running the show and generally making sure everything runs smoothly. I've been at my current company almost 9 years and love it! 4/29/09 NORM ROSE '64Spouse: Rebecca DONALD ROSENFIELD '47Spouse: Christine Chris and I haven't been married long enough to have kids; just 45 years as of 2002. I was Director of a Planetarium in Michigan, taught science in middle school and high school and college. Taught astronomy in colleges and universities. My 1st cousin Barry Norris and I were 16-year-old seniors at HP. So were my brothers, Philip and Paul who graduated two years later. I won the baby picture contest run by the _Torch_. Got my B.S.C. at Roosevelt University; was Captain of the Chess Team there; we took the Midwest Intercollegiate Championship away from the U. of Chicago who had it for the previous 15 years in 1951. Got my M.A. from Central Mich. University. Wrote my doctoral dissertation on planetarium curriculum development at the Universidade de Sao Paulo in Brazil. When we got to Brazil at the end of 1967 the life-span of the Brazilians was 45 years. Now it is 67 and climbing, mostly due to my wife's work. She solved Brazil's single worst medical problem and 29 worst famine problems. Starting there as a Field Project Officer of the FAO and working closely with the WHO, those being the two arms of the United Nations Development Programme, she ended as Officer-in-Charge of the UNDP, a GS-26 position, if that means anything to you. (The Secretary-General of the UN is GS-27.) Then we drove home, via Patagonia. The trip was 19,000 miles in four months, crossing the Andes Mountains seven times, the Sierra Madres four times, and the Rockies once. At the end of that trip Chris was in the books: "Who's Who in American Women," "American Men & Women of Science," and the "International Scholars' Directory." Then she decided she was in the wrong field, went back to school, getting her M.D. at the University of Michigan; earlier, her Ph.D. was from the University of Alberta so we got to live in Edmonton for three years. Now she's a Geriatric Internist; there's a national and worldwide shortage of that kind of doctor and she's a pioneer in the field. Chris has been the USA Womens' Champion in Correspondence Chess since 1985 and is America's first ILM, International Lady Master in Correspondence Chess. She represents the USA in the Ladies' World Correspondence Chess Championships and plays 1st Board for the USA Ladies' Olympiad Correspondence Chess Team. So it works out that I'm married to an Olympian! At least I can beat her in chess. We played a measured set of 100 games and I took her 98 out of the 100! Also she breeds and shows Chartreux cats. If you want to take a look at one of our cats go to www.cfainc.org and then to Breeds and then to Chartreux. In the article the third cat picture down is of our GC Gato Azul's Sarissa. BARAK ROSENSHINE (Faculty)The forthcoming picnic at The Point reminded me of
previous years. I enclose a piece I wrote in 1990
which explains what I've been doing since 1963. DAVID ROTH 56½Spouse: Charmaine 1957/1961 USAF Aircraft Radio Repair.
DEBBY RUBENSTEIN '63I live at Winslow Cohousing on Bainbridge Island, 35 minutes by ferry from Seattle. Cohousing in an "intentional" community where we share the care of the community, meals five nights a week and many common facilities. We have 30 member families meaning about 50 adults and 30-40 kids (the kids vary from year to year as they change and move on). Come visit it is a great way to live!! Married David O'Sullivan (an Irish Brit) in 1977. I have a 21 year old son who is just off for his 3rd trip to China (this time with the addition of Tibet and Japan) and is majoring in International Studies. He wants to make the world a better place. His best friend is at Oberlin and is studying to be a revolutionary. He too wants to make the world a better place. Sounds like all of us when we were younger. I am working as a "Telecommunications Specialist" for the local school district. I am just finishing my CNA and running the phone systems (telephones, cell phones, intercoms, pagers, voice mail, etc) as well as help desk for the network and computers. Overworked and underpaid (aren't we all?) KAREL RUBENSTEIN (WOLFSON) '56Spouse: Lee Wolfson JERRY SABATH '64S pouse: CathyHome: Andover, MA Business: Paradigm Works, Inc (computer chip design consulting) Kids: Mark, 1975 - Princeton U '98, Harvard Law '03, will clerk for federal judge in Philadelphia in '03-'04; Debbie, 1978 - Colby College '00, Lesley U '02; teaching 2nd grade in Andover. ROBERT "BOB" SABATH '61Spouse: Marguerite ("Peg") Edidin BS Industrial Engineering - Purdue, MBA - University of Chicago I live in Evanston with my wife, Peg (attended Hyde Park for one year, in '62). We have three children (Laura-35, Valerie-33 (married to Eric Faily and mom of Jessica-5 months old), and Joe-31). I've been a management consultant since 1969, though I'm transitioning towards retirement. For years, we have collected native American art and kaleidoscopes, and we have restored a neat landmark home, which we are preparing to sell, as we downsize, etc. Life has been good, with the typical challenges we each get. I hope to hear from anyone who remembers me. I have heard from Carlo Jones and Ernie Heinze, both of whom are in the stage force pyramid picture with me. I guess there is no escape from all the brilliant things we did! MIKE SAGARA '63Spouse: Lynn AMRITA (MONICA) SALM '63On September 5, 1963 Pam Haas & I boarded the train to Tucson to attend the University of Arizona. Now I'm trying to recall what might be considered significant events to tell all my old high school friends who I haven't seen, but many whom I have thought of, for 37 years. When I first heard about the HP Website I hesitated to send in a bio. It didn't seem like my life should be "public domain." Now that I will be meeting many of you in a few days it seems foolish not to, so here is a brief update. Pam & I were roommates for a year and I graduated in January,1968; moved to Los Angeles, where I was going to change the world and instead became an elementary teacher in South Central Los Angeles, close to Watts, shortly after the riots, which is why so many of us were hired. I was married briefly, finished my teaching credential, did some consulting work, spent a summer in Europe, later a year in Italy, returned to LA where I met a titled Italian prince, who also had a big ego, a Ph.D. and no money (Pam's aunt always said it is as easy to fall in love with a rich man as a poor man). He moved to Utah to attend law school; I followed and ended up in a Master's program in Special Education. A job offer, as assistant director of a federally funded program put me near Philadelphia for a year. Within less than a year I moved to Berkeley, associating with the Vedanta Society (an Eastern philosophy and when practiced a religion that believes in a balance between an inner life and selfless service), got a job, entered Cal and completed my Ph.D. in Higher Education. In 1978 I returned to LA and have been closely associated with the Vedanta Society of Southern California ever since then. I worked for the Chancellor's Planning Office at UCLA, taught undergraduate & graduate courses at California State University, Los Angeles and then decided to try "the better life" and had by this time changed my name to Amrita. So if I don't respond immediately to the name of Monica please don't take it personally. Ten years ago I moved to Carpinteria , a small beach town 10 miles south of Santa Barbara with a population of about 13,000. I walk to the beach, which is 5 minutes away and bike around town. Having done a lot of volunteer work fund-raising was a pretty natural extension and I started getting paid for grant writing and fund raising for non-profit organizations. In addition to my responsibilities at the Vedanta Society, I began editing pamphlets & books for publishing houses in India. Five years of hard labor resulted in the publication of a major work in the Ramakrishna-Vedanta canon, which is in its second printing and as soon as I finish re-editing over 900 pages will become the second edition. For the last three years I have been actively involved in Vivekananda Retreat, Ridgely . If you can call it a hobby I love going to India and have done so 15 times over the last 20 years for periods of 5 weeks - 6 months. Pam Haas, Joel Neuberg & Naomi Margolis Maurer are the only HP friends I have kept in touch with, so I look forward to seeing all of you and am sure we will have lots of things to discuss & share. EDWARD SAMSON '58Spouse: Sara I graduated from HP in 1958 (HEY, ISN'T IT TIME FOR A REUNION?), then earned my BS in Psychology and MBA from the University of Illinois. Most of my career was in marketing research and customer satisfaction management and now own a company in an unrelated field. I live in Northbrook, IL and have two children, one working in New York and one recently graduated from college and still at home. 3/26/07MICHAEL SAMSON '62After wandering in a daze through Hyde Park, I wandered a
few more years at Columbia College in TYESE SANFORD (SIMS) '94Spouse: Joseph Sims Alumunus of Chicago State University 1999. Still friends with Tiffany Richmond, Anita Montegomery, Sheena, Tiffany Watkins, etc.... DAVID SATTERSpouse: Olga Printseva Satter DANIEL SCHULTZ '67Spouse: Gale THEODORE (TED) SCOTT '62½After graduating from Hyde Park in January of 1963, I attended Southeast College for a while and drove trucks part time. During my spare time, I pursued my life long passion, and started taking flying lessons. I acquired my private license, and continued my training and received advanced ratings, (instrument, multi-engine, and commercial). Three and a half years after leaving Hyde Park, I got married; and shortly after that, I accepted an offer from IBM Corp. One year later, like so many others, I received a personal invitation to go to work for the US Government. While in basic training, I was offered and accepted flight training. I soon found myself on an extended tour of duty in Vietnam. Needless to say, I survived this experience, in spite of being shot down several times, and being wounded four times. After Vietnam, I spent the remainder of my time flying military VIP's, and paratrooper trainees for the jump school at Ft. Benning, Georgia. Upon leaving the military, I returned to my job at IBM, and shortly after, applied to Braniff Airline and was hired. I flew the colorful skies of Braniff until the company shut down. At the time, I was a 727 Captain. After the demise of Braniff, I flew for Merv Griffen until I joined Pan Am. At Pan Am, I realized my greatest ambition when I advanced to Captain on the 747. I flew 747s until one of the wounds that I received in Vietnam, forced me into an early retirement. After spending more than thirty thousand hours in the air, hardly a day goes by that I don't look at the sky with deep longing; and I thank God every day, for allowing me to develop these skills and for the realization of my dream. I also thank Him for the indescribable experiences and the sights that flying has given me over the years; but, above all, I thank God for keeping me, and the thousands of souls who entrusted their lives to my hands, safe throughout the years. I still do some corporate flying, and command several of the most advanced business jets in production. During my downtime, I continued my education and earned degrees in engineering, business, and management. I am now the Director of US Operations for an Australian based corporation. My wife Louise and I will soon be celebrating our thirty-fifth wedding anniversary. We have one son, Nathan, who was born in 1973. SYBIL SEETS (PROCTOR) '63Home: Chicago, IL MERRY SELK '63
For the past 12 years, I have lived in Albany (a small town right next to Berkeley, CA) with my husband Pasquale Mariniello, and our two daughters, Elanna, 11, who just graduated from 5th grade (she gave the closing speech!) and she starts Albany Middle School in the fall, and Juliet, 8, who starts 3rd grade this fall. To my surprise, I’m active with the PTA (currently looking for ways to smooth the difficult middle school transition and doing parent education in the grade school), and on the temple religious school committee (our kids are in the pre-bat mitzva program). I like knowing this community, walking to school (and working an hour in the classroom every other week), seeing the kids cross the street to school watched by the fierce crossing guard Esther, and being on a first name basis with the girls’ teachers who will come over for dinner now that school is over. Pasquale and I met at Green Gulch Zen Center in Marin County (just north of San Francisco) 18 years ago. I’ve been in California since 1970, when I visited after a NYC snowstorm, walked through the fragrant eucalyptus grove on the UC Berkeley campus, and wondered why anyone would live anywhere else. Meditation is still part of our lives (though not really enough): we take the kids to Family Day at Spirit Rock Insight (mindfulness) Meditation Center, go to see Tich Nat Hanh, and I take a weekly class in qigong (a form of tai chi) and practice a bit. I work as a freelance communications consultant, writing in many forms (newsletters, scripts, reports, marketing programs) for clients (a lot of healthcare, a credit union, some high tech). Pasquale works a crazy schedule at Home Depot. I was in a book group for 18 years, quit a few years ago and still read like crazy. For the last several years I’ve been working on finding a better balance between life, family, work, money and health. This is to let you know that my Selk Communications website is now LIVE at

GREG (PHIL) SMITH '64My four Hyde Park High School years were a brief and deeply influential interlude in my otherwise Southern life. Lived on a tobacco farm before Hyde Park (mine was the purest Southern accent at HPHS.) I am writing now from Pawleys Island, SC, where I've worked for almost 25 years renting beach houses to tourists. After graduating in '64 from HPHS, I got a journalism degree from University of South Carolina, worked as a weekly newspaper reporter, editor and publisher for 8 years, then switched to my present career. Dabbled in politics, serving 4 years as a county councilman, and four years in state senate. Have longed often to visit again with former HPHS mates. --Phil Smith, known here by middle name, Greg Smith.

(We’re still a couple.) I majored in economics, and for some reason that I still ask myself about, I joined ROTC. I went into the Army in 1969 and served my two years in Germany (viel Gluck!). Our son Kevin was born in 1968, got married in 1998, and is getting his doctorate in mathematics at Northern Illinois University. Elaine taught middle school for about 20 years, ending her career by opening two preschools for children ages 3-5. I got my start in education by substituting for Elaine when she was pregnant (talk about creating your own breaks!). When I got out of the Army, I taught for 10 years; then I went into administration, where I’ve been for the past 22 years. Currently I’m an elementary school principal in the southwest suburbs of Chicago, and I RETIRE in June 2003! Then, who knows? We still live in the Chicago area and visit Hyde Park periodically (a college friend lives around 54th and Dorchester). Looking forward to hearing from some long-forgotten friends and attending the next reunion of any class around 1962. MARJA STANFORD (-LEAK) '68Home: Chicago, IL I received an Ed.

MBA (University of Chicago's 190 Program) & CPA. Ten years later I was Director,
Finance with G. D. Searle and decided to get out of corporate America to start
an executive search business. As a side line, I remodeled homes. The current
downturn in the economy enticed me to change directions once again and start a
real estate brokerage company in Chicago. In addition to selling residential
real estate, I will be buying and rehabbing properties with some friends and
colleagues. This latest move should take advantage of my construction,
consulting sales, and financial experience.

JAMES THREATTE '62Spouse: Aruna GAIL THOMAS '80Spouse: Len Dorman Still a 'lab rat' after almost 20 years....... *eep!* A few years ago, I got
into power lifting. I won my first (and only) competition, then decided to go
into 'early retirement'...... mainly because I got married. Yep..... got married
in 2001. Between helping out the husband with his business...... going to work,
and taking care of other things, competing is definitely out of the question.
However, I can still be found at the gym at Northwestern working out.
