okay! okay! I'm coming to the reunion.  Since leaving my life has been about blending...cultures, families, occupations...I spent 12 years in the other Washington where I taught school the first year of forced bussing (say no more). Moving back to WA state,  I started a private primary school in Bellingham.  Later,  to stir the proverbial pot, I returned  to WW and bought a 500 acre farm.  I am a viticulturalist and winemaker.  Ever an entrepreneur I feed the pomice (pressed wine grapes)to my cows, branded CABERNET COWS, and sell the m to high end restaurants.  To pay for my (aforementioned) bad habits I work in Real Estate where the market is still good.  I am a trustee for the school of business in real estate research at WSU, where I blend my sports allegiance.  And, yes , there's still a little DEVIL in me.

I was wondering what became of a few folks I knew long ago at Wa Hi. Then realized some of you might be wondering about me. So, heres the short version. Moved to New York, became a creative director at big ad agencies like Ogilvy & Mather and McCann Erickson (worked on a lot of tech stuff - IBM, Microsoft, etc.). Commuted from a little country town called Garrison on the Hudson River, had two boys (now providing grandchildren and baby sitting opportunities). Retired early, turned a hobby into another career creating virtual products for virtual worlds (ala Ready Player One, if you’re interested see my catalog at https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/4117). Bought a cottage in Vermont on the shores of Lake Champlain, spend my summers there sailing and biking. The rest of the year we do lots of traveling and back to Garrison with my wife Kay.
