State/Prov.:CA Occupation:Managing Director -- Abercrombie & Kent USA Website:www.akdmc.com/usa Marital Status:Married No. of Children:4 Grammar (feeder) School:Boone Division Teacher:Mrs. Hackman No. of Grandchildren:5 Your Favorite Piece Of Wisdom:Nothing ever is as bad as it seems when the news is first heard. So take it in, sit with it a bit, and then respond. My Life Since Senn ...:I originally went to the West Coast to go to graduate school at Stanford, first in Space Dynamics (remember, we were headed to the moon), then in Business School. After that, I called Palo Alto home for most of the next 20 years, except for short stints in Juneau, Alaska (2 years working for the State of Alaska and 6 summers running the first of my Alaska travel businesses) and Milan, Italy (2 years as a management consultant). In 1990, I moved to the Seattle area, living in Seattle for a couple of years, but mostly on Whidbey Island in Puget Sound. I have two daughters from my first marriage and two step-daughters with my second wife Ginny Rodin Behr. Together Ginny and I have five grandchildren, two in Austin, one in LA, and two near our home in the Sonoma Valley wine country. We came to Sonoma County to retire, but only my wife made it. I work part-time as head of U.S. operations for Abercrombie & Kent (A&K), which is based in Downers Grove, IL. A&K is the leading company in luxury adventure travel globally. My passions are hiking in the beautiful natural areas near our home and book collecting (Alaskana and Western fiction authors). I have been fortunate to be able to travel to and hike in remote corners of the world as part of my travel industry work and consulting. And I have never gotten over being a tree-hugging environmentalist liberal, serving on the boards of several environmental groups. Also, I am President this year of my local Rotary Club and on the board of our local Santa Rosa Symphony orchestra.

I like the history that is in this area. I am not too far from Fort Stanwix in Rome NY which played a big part in the Revolutionary War and the Battle of Oriskany. There are a lot of Civil War landmarks and Garret Smith Historic Home in Peterboro, Smithfield, Eaton, Madison Villages, as well as the Underground Railroad and the houses in Eaton and Madison. Hamilton was known as the recruitment center for the Civil War.

This country is full of history and wonderful places to see and admire. I am glad I have the chance to see and study about our country.

I am sorry I can't make our reunion but my job and family health issues make it impossible. Keep me posted and thanks for the invite. Have a good time and I hope your weather is great for the reunion.

Respectfully submitted,
