My Life Since Senn ...:
Life after Senn began with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Chicago. My favorite weekend was spent as host for New York artist Louise Nevelson when she was on campus as headliner for the Festival of the Arts, then in its infancy My career wound its way through marketing, advertising, public relations, and fundraising. Stints included public relations firms, an all-woman marketing and design firm, advertising agencies, a national student loan provider, and finally, Indiana's largest law firm. Also spent several years as a free-lance newspaper writer. Lived in Indianapolis nearly three decades and recently moved back to Illinois -- where politics are so much more exciting. The climax of my volunteer life was four years as chair of a speaker series with nationally prominent names, greeting them at the airport and digging up background tidbits for my introductions. I am delighted to have family minutes rather than hours away. And it has been most pleasant to reconnect with friends and favorite haunts. |

My Life Since Senn ...:
My life since high school: U of I undergrad, graduate school Northeastern U in Boston in Actuarial Science. Began actuarial exams in 1968. Became a Consulting Actuary in 1972. Married an Irish Catholic girl in 1975 who, like me, didn't want to have kids. Finished actuarial exams in 1976. After the winters of 1977-1980, moved to San Francisco in 1981 where I joined an actuarial consulting firm. Started investing in real estate in 1982. Joined my wife as a full time real estate investor in 1984. Survived, sometimes barely, several booms and busts over the years before finally settling into the mobile home park market. Still standing, still married, no kids. It's been a wild ride, but a mostly rewarding one, and I am still looking forward to an exciting future. P.S. Since 1986 have been signed up to be Cryonically Suspended upon my "death". Hopefully I can convince enough of my classmates to do the same so we may possibly get together to celebrate our 500th Year Class Reunion in 2460!! |
