Hello All !! It is hard to believe that 46 years have gone by--I still feel 18 and my wife says I often act it.

I went to Holy Cross and then to Harvard with an academic career in psychology as my goal. I started toward that goal at Boston University as an Instructor in 1961. My first lecture was on the accidental theory of vocational development. It was shortly thereafter the accidents started to happen. While I have been in the academic world my whole career, I have had very little to do with psychology.

I left B.U. in 1968 as Assistant Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and began a 34 year career in public higher education. First at the Massachusetts Board of Higher Education as Director of Budget. Then, in 1971, at the Mass. State College System as Vice Chancellor. Following a State reorganization in 1981 I became the Vice President, Administration and Finance for Framingham State College (teacher/astronaut Christa McAuliffe is a graduate). I remained at Framingham for 21 years, retiring this past March.

On 7/4/67 I married my assistant, Terry, (This would be frowned upon today.)-- a B.U. Phi Beta Kappa English major. We have lived in Wellesley for the past 31 years. Terry went back to school in the 80's and received an M.L.S. and has just retired from a private secondary school.

We have 2 children. Peter went to college at Loyola in Baltimore and has not left the city. He is a CPA ,
owns a restaurant and is unmarried (no reasonable offer refused). Erinn went to Franklin and Marshall and then to the University of Alberta to study geology. She was married last September to a Canadian who she met in grad school. He is a geophysicist and she is a web designer at Wellesley College's Centers for Women.

Terry and I plan to travel (just returned from England) and just have fun. Hope to see you in '06.

A special thanks to Jane for making me do this.
