Personal reflections:  After honoring a 2-year ROTC commitment in Germany, I joined JP Morgan where I worked for 32 years. Raised 4 boys in Ridgewood, NJ all of whom went to Andover and then Harvard, Brown and finally the last 2 to Cornell! Divorced in 1990 and in 1993 married Lyn Magnor, a fabulous woman who has made life more wonderful than I could ever imagine. In the 15 years since retiring, Lyn and I have travelled extensively and spent considerable time with our 14 grandchildren who are scattered throughout the U.S. We are still active golfers, bikers and skiers. When not travelling, we divide our time between the Adirondacks, Florida and Manhattan.  Life has been very good!
