After graduating
from LMHS I attended C.W. Post college before heading to St. Johns to play
basketball. Post is where I met Carole & St. Johns didn't seem so important
after that. Carole was taking Psychology & I was taking up space but that
didn't seem to matter to her.
We married a few years later & lived in Fresh Meadows for a few years while
I worked for Kimberly-Clark. Moved to Plainview in '68 & raised our 4
children, Susan, John, Nancy & Scot. In '92 we moved to Lake Grove, near
Smithtown, & after finishing college, our kids began to marry.
We are truly blessed in that our children have exceeded tenfold any
expectations we may have had for them. Carole gets all the credit for this &
for all the love & closeness our family maintains. All 4 "kids" live within
20 minutes of us & we see them & our 9 grandchildren several times a week.
(Just learned a 10th grandchild is due 9/06, Scot's 2nd).
In 1984 I started my own promotional marketing company which has done well &
keeps me busy & out of trouble. I have no plans to retire.
