Hello All, although I started Long Beach High School in my junior year, I have very fond memories of events and FRIENDS in Long Beach.. Unfortuanlely, I have not keep up communication with my "old time" friends over the years. But, I have started to do this over the past few years. I guess this is something you do when you see "seventy" staring you in the eyes. I went to the 30th. I didn't even know about the 20th or 40th! But, I will NOT miss this one. Somethings about me. I went to BU for one year and graduated from NYU (uptown which no longer exists). I was a teacher, staff developer, and assistant principal in NYC, the Bronx for 33 years. I retired in 2002. After retirement I thought I would never be an employee again. An opportunity came about and I was Director of Education for Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Westchester/CT 4 years before moving to Phoenix, AZ However, I started a business in 1973 which I still own and run today; Martha's Vineyard Vacation Homes. I have lived in NYC, New Rochelle, Nanuet, Valley Cottage, West Nyack, Fairfield, CT and now "very, very" north Phoenix. I spend most of my time traveling. Just came back from six weeks in South America. In July 2015 I will be going to Sweden and Iceland. On a personal note, I have a 26 year old son, Andrew who lives in Fairfield, CT with his fiance, Kinder. My daughter, Lindsay and son in law Derek live outside of Portland, OR in a lttle town called Clackamas. Lindsday is an attorney and Andrew is in finance and works in Stamford, CT. I have been married 3 times and divorced 3 times! Currently I am with Arlene for 13 years. No marriage plans!! I wouldn't have lived my life any other way. I loved all three wonderful women but "it" just didn't work out. I try to remain friends with each of them. I am very close to my children and Arlene's children and grandchildren who also live in Fairfield, CT. As I finish this message, I realized it might be TMI! I can't wait to see you at the reunion.
