"I moved down here in October nearly twenty years after I first moved
to the Boston area to attend Northeastern University as an engineering/track
student. I changed my area of studies to history, but continued the track
and graduated after serving my five years, in 1982. My move was precipitated
by my wife accepting an offer to serve as in-house legal counsel to Hershey
Foods (sorry, she is not of N.U.-she's one of those Harvard College/Harvard
Law cum laude types). Our two kids (boy and girl) accompanied us on our
journey to the sweetest corner this side of the Rockies. After working
nearly fifteen years as a trial assistant for a couple of Boston law firms,
I have decided to pursue something different. I started taking classes
at Penn State. I hope to receive both a state teaching certificate and
a master's degree in education within a couple of years. I hope to teach
science at the middle/junior high school level. Seems that my destiny has
always been to run into danger rather than away from it. Such are the joys
of life."
