Last 50 years:
When I tell people that I am a chemical engineer who specializes in powder handling and processing, they don't seem interested unless I tell them that I am a co-inventor of a process for removing THC from marijuana. Then they want to know more. I've never touched the product or the starting material.
Several years ago, I started my own independent consulting company. I enjoy being self employed although I don't get along with my boss. I am also an adjunct professor at the University of Rhode Island. I'm good with kids, as I have had 68 years of experience being one.
I've traveled to 27 different countries, 28 if I count California, which I'm convinced is no longer part of the USA. I once flew to Ahmedabad, India. It took me 26 hours to get there. I stayed twenty hours and then flew home. The highlight of my trip was that I saw a family of five on a motorcycle.
My wife Kelly (Williams, SHS Class of 1977 - yes, I married up!) has a masters in psychology and counseling and is a mental health therapist. We complement each other well --- I help her balance the checkbook and she helps me cross the street.
Kelly and I traveled to Bulgaria where we adopted our daughter Sidney. We took her from her orphanage on her second birthday. One year later, Kelly returned to Bulgaria with her sister, who adopted a 3-year old boy named Gabriel. His mother sadly passed away and he joined our family. We have two 32-year old children --- a long story, but you have the Cliff Notes.
We live in a small town outside of Boston that looks like a Norman Rockwell painting. Within the town limits are two golf course and a ski area. When people ask me if I miss skiing in Colorado, I tell them what I miss most of all is my parents paying for my lift ticket.
I still hate Mr. Breunich.
Favorite high school memories:
The student council announced that it would have a graffiti board across the hall from the principal's office for students to post. I placed a poster that read, "Reminder --- Sunday is Mother's Day. All girls who wish to become mothers should contact Greg Mehos." It wasn't my last visit to Mr. Reagan's office. He was particularly perturbed because I had written my post on school stationery.
