Career and travel Highlights - I began my career at Celanese Plastics Corporation - from 1962 until 1967. I next went to Raychem Corporation and spent the next 32 years there. In the early seventies I was transferred to their home office in the San Francisco Bay area. We have been living in Menlo Park since that time.

I have traveled the world extensively for Raychem, visiting practically every continent. For 20 years I averaged over 100,000 air miles annually. I have been marketing manager for several of their product lines. When Tyco purchased Raychem in 1999, I became a consultant and marketing manager for Memry Corporation, a firm that I had a relationship with while still at Raychem. We were the marketing arm for Memry. Of all the countries that we visited we still love Ireland and Germany.

Hobbies/Sports - I love to golf, especially in Ireland and on the course that our home sits on. And I love to ski, my favorite being Austria and Deer Valley, Utah. My brother Bob and I, along with his wife Marge, have begun skiing lately. Last year we spent time in Utah. Before that it was at Lake Tahoe. And I love rooting for the San Francisco Giants and the Forty Niners. The San Jose Sharks are also a favorite. I get to see them play several times a season.

Anything else you would like to say - Have a great 45th reunion. I'm happy my brother talked me into coming. I'll enjoy seeing all of you there.
