Joumalism class trip to NYC.
Journalism trip to NYC, after Mr.Porter went to sleep, several of us sneaked out of our rooms to do the "Big Apple». Clarke Ridgway (and others, but certainly not me) got hammered . For some reason we had to awaken Mr. Porter ( I think we lost someone or Clarke got injured). I remember laughing my ass off when Clarke pounded on Mr.P's door, announcing, "Mr.Porter! This is Clarke Ridgway, and I'm drunk!!!"

We live on a river in Eastern North Carolina. When I am not writing, I like to take the boat out locally or trailer it down the coast and motor around the lower Outer Banks.
I spent thirty plus years in the investment business. We've lived in a number of locations.. Seattle; Convent Station, NJ; Los Angeles; Charlotte, NC; Columbus, OH; and Santa Barbara, CA. We chose New Bern, NC to build a home and retire. I published my first novel in 2011, "Wormwood: High Crimes and a Bunch of Misdemeanors". Its a comical murder mystery set in a small city in WV and is available at Amazon.com. I finished the sequel in fall of 2013 and books 3 and 4 are under way.

Married since 1972 with two children and four grandchildren with the fifth on the way. It will be born in August so we will not be able to come to the reunion.
We had planned to move to Reno to be closer to our daughter in Truckee, CA. We put the house in Easton MD on the market and went to some open houses to see our competition. Then I fell in love with a 1900 farmhouse in a small town about ten miles away from where we are living in MD and we bought it.
