I'm looking forward to reconnecting to Summit -- my connections went down fast when my parents moved away shortly after SHS and  my friends scattered far and wide. 

After college I moved to California, in the San Francisco/Palo Alto area, where I worked and went to grad school and met my wife (Chris).  We did an unusual thing (moved back East) and I have been a professor at Princeton, about 60 minutes from Summit, for 24 years now.  Hard to believe I am much older already than my parents were when I was at SHS -- guess they weren't that old then.



I had plans to come to the Sunday brunch at our Thanksgiving weekend reunion 15 years ago, but a canceled airplane ended that plan.  I  exchanged some emails with my Summit backyard basketball and occasional car-fixing partner Jay Sperco, whose house was directly behind mine, about 5-10 years ago after running into him somehow on the internet -- he was living in the southwest (Arizona?).  And the same with Ted Nickerson about 5 years ago (Mississippi?).    David Stern (Houston) and I exchange an Xmas card every few years but its been years since we talked.  Lee Sullivan and I lived in the same town outside of Princeton 15 years ago, and I have some vague recollection of running into Tina Seeling in Palo Alto 25 years ago.    That's about it.



I did get back to Summit a few times lately -- my daughter's ice hockey team had a few games at Beacon Hill.  I looked at the parents of the BH team carefully to see if I recognized anyone, but no luck.  Also her high school team played Summit HS every year.  They are the only two public high schools with girls ice hockey in NJ.   (Princeton won every year!) 



Anyway, who remembers all those Saturday morning chemistry labs with Miss Johnson in 11th grade?  I tracked her down and talked to her last year.  She is retired near Summit.  She was perhaps the most inspiring teacher I had in SHS.   Maybe we can invite her to part of the weekend or something. 



Many of my friends were the math/science crowd.  Where are you all now ?-- Mark Wynnemar (Florida if I believe google) ,Ted Senator, Walter Zengerle , George Rittersbach....

I am married 24 years to my wife Gina.  We have no children.  Gina is a retired teacher with 35+ years at Sayreville, NJ. She now sub’s at Ethel Hoppock Middle School in Asbury, here where we live.  It has 250 students (that’s all three grades).

I was an Air Traffic Controller in the Navy for awhile.  I flew airplanes for USAir until that disappeared.  I flew corporate jets for rich guys.  I spent a couple years as a simulator instructor providing initial and recurrent instruction in French made Dassault airplanes.  I have accumulated 8,000  hours in 30 different airplane types.
