My Life Since Senn ...: After Senn I went to Washington University (St.Louis, MO) to study art but became frustrated with it and switched to liberal arts. I could not really afford to stay there but I was lucky and got a full scholarship after the first year and so was able to finish in 1964 with a degree in Sociology. After graduation, when offered a fellowship and stipend, I went to graduate school, earning an MA in Sociology in 1966 from WU. For five years after that I did research in a planning agency, moonlighted by teaching at the University of Missouri and then took a job running an associate degree program at the Community Colleges in St. Louis.

When I was 29 I married John Dubinsky from St. Louis and in the next 8 years we had three children. Anne was born in 1974, Eleanor in 1976 and Frank in 1979. Anne is now married and lives in Marin County, in Fairfax, CA, with husband and 2 children. She works for the West Region of the National Park Service as an MBA in the concessions program. Eleanor (a performance artist) and Frank (developing affordable housing in Manhattan and Brooklyn) live in New York. John and I live in St. Louis from mid October until late May and in Truro, MA from late May to mid October.

I took a leave of absence from the St. Louis Community Colleges in 1978 and never went back to teaching and administration or to Sociology.

In 1984 I returned to Art School at Washington University. At first I took undergrad classes and later enrolled in grad school and finished an MFA in 1990. I set up a studio and now make art and show my work. I have a website at: www.yddstudio.com

Eight years ago John and I built a beach house in Massachusetts (Cape Cod is where we went with the kids in the summer when it became very hot in St. Louis) and now we spend long summers there. I'll be coming to the reunion from there. Life seems calmer and freer while I get older and older.

If I have any regrets, its that I didn't keep up with old friends more and its in that spirit that I very much look forward to the reunion!

Your Favorite Piece Of Wisdom: Always have a plan!
My Life Since Senn ...: If the truth were told: I didn't graduate from Senn. But I did graduate from high school, only it was Evanston Township High School. I spent my first two years ('56 - '58) at Senn where my true high school memories were formed.

My life has been defined by my adventures. Hours after graduation from Washington U, I boarded a boat to England to study film at The London Film School.

After graduation, I met a group of Australians who needed a tour guide. They made Australia seem very appealing so first by dusty van, and after I left them by scooter, train & boat. I traveled(and worked) for over five years, visiting the Middle East and Asia and bringing home a bride from Japan. Divorced, we're friends now. Our son, Kenji, is the result of the union. Kenji and his wife and my grandchildren live only a few blocks away. Kenji is a video producer.

My feet still itch. My company, KEI Productions(corporate meetings and events), keeps me moving. When not working, I'm always up for a trip. This year, it's Texas and the Bahamas-visiting a friend on his sailboat-Spain and San Jean de Luz in France.

Comment: This will be my first reunion. I was never in the country during the first two and my name somehow got lost when the third was being planned. I am forever grateful for Jackie Stern and those of you who have invested so much time and energy in organizing our 50th and giving me one last chance to finally participate. I am looking forward to seeing you all and renewing our friendships.

Your Favorite Piece Of Wisdom: Despite its imperfections, the United States is the greatest country in the world. A very wise person once told me that to be born in this country already made me one of the luckiest people on the planet. Even when I faltered because of my own poor decisions and actions, I had many additional chances to succeed. Thank God, even I eventually came around. My hope is that in the end, we will have been successful in sharing this bit of wisdom with our children.
My Life Since Senn ...: After two challenging and not too academically successful years in pre-med at the U of I, I was invited by the draft board to explore a career in the United States Army. Being absolutely certain that every college flunk-out draftee was pre-destined for a stint as an infantryman, I enlisted for three years so I would be guaranteed 36 weeks of training and a career as an electronic cipher equipment repairman. Thirty years later I retired as a Colonel after a career that included tours of duty in such scenic places as Vietnam, Germany and Korea; Pentagon assignments during the Carter, Reagan, Bush and Clinton administrations and the Army sending me back to school - first to the U of I where I graduated with a degree in accounting and passed the CPA exam in '73, then later to Syracuse University for an MBA in '78. In the course of my military career, I served under some fine leaders, got to command great soldiers at every level through battalion and was fortunate to be chosen for several high level assignments which included Executive to the Comptroller of the Army in '84, Comptroller of the Army National Guard in '86, the Chief Financial Officer for U.S. military forces in Korea in '88, and lastly, the head of the organization that designed, orchestrated and implemented the plan for downsizing the Army in '92.

In 1994 I began my second career as a procurement executive for Sears. A third career as a Supply Chain consultant followed in 2005. Today I claim to be semi-retired, but am happily ensconced in my fourth career, having dusted off my CPA credentials and becoming an Enrolled Agent I teach tax preparation for H&R Block and represent clients before the IRS when the weather is not conducive to golf. Along the way, I was married twice and have a wonderful son, Christopher, who lives outside of Boulder, Colorado.
