Hi guys--Unlike some of you, I am rather computer illiterate and have no idea how to get photos of myself on this blug--assuming I would want anyone to see them. Neverthless, I will say that I am excited about this upcoming reunion. I entered CCNY in 1957 as a 16 year old kid from the Bronx. Why CCNY? Where else? I didn't know anyone that went anywhere else. I majored in electrical engineering. Why? Because it was the "Sputnik" era and all kids that had some ability in math and science were directed thus. Graduating some five years later, I was to discover that after all that hard work-and it was hard- I didnt like it and wasn't particularly good at it anyway. So, I joined the US Army hoping to discover my true calling. Failing once again at that, I finally got lucky and met my wife Linda--and we have been together for 42 years now--have two great children-David and Lori. Each is married to a doctor and Lori is a pediatrician. David works for Mellon Bank. We are blessed with four wonderful grandchildren-Zachary, Abigayle, Spencer and Jamie. We live in Westchester-Lori and Mitch in Woodbury LI and David and Tara in Yardley, Pennsylvania.
After the army I went business school and ultimately went into the investment business-investment banking and money management-where I have been actively involved for the past forty years. I am still somewhat active though with plenty of available time. As a point of interest, one of the best things I did was to go back to school !Columbia) and got an M.A. a few years ago. I recommend it highly--even if it just involves auditing. You get to take all the courses you never had time for or never knew you liked.
We now spend a good part of the winter in Florida. We play a lot of bridge and golf. My ZBT experience was a great part of my life and it was a way of finding a little bit of "out of town college" at CCNY. I am looking forward to seeing many old friends in the months to come. It has already been fun to exchange emails, look at this blog and even see some people I thought I had lost.
