After graduating from the U of A in’64 (pre-med, chem. major), I went to medical school in Boston, and except for my internship year in San Diego, have been on the east coast ever since. While in medical school, I married Anne Marie Peters from Tucson. We were blessed with a daughter, Kirsten, who is an artist and musician (day job: hospital data analyst) now living near Arcata, CA. I wish she were closer so we could see her more often. Anne Marie and I divorced amicably in 1975. After completing my training in psychiatry, I served two years as a Navy psychiatrist. My practice pattern after the Navy makes me an increasingly endangered species: I am in solo outpatient practice in a rural area (coastal CT). I remarried in 1977. My wife, Candace, is a psychiatric nurse clinician and the mother of our son Matthew age 30. He is an environmental consultant whose longstanding passion is clean air: most of his work is in implementing the use of alternative energy sources. He currently lives and works in Boston and we see him frequently. Although Candy and I know we already have more than our share of blessings: healthy grown children who are wonderful caring people, work we love, and activities we enjoy (skiing, the ocean—except sometimes during hurricane season—and some travel), we hope that our lives may include still another blessing at some point: one or more grandchildren to love. After a very long absence, I am looking forward to seeing classmates again and learning about the paths they have traveled for these last 50 years. Does anyone know how it can possibly be that many years since we graduated?
