Highlights Since 1962:
|
Moving to Portland, OR after law school and practicing law in Portland for 19 years as a business litigator before going to Pacific School of Religion in Berkeley, California and serving two churches in California for a total of 13 years. Learning to ski, skiing with my children, backpacking on the Pacific Crest Trail, and serving on numerous nonprofit boards. Finding the village of New Denver, British Columbia, building a home and retreat center in New Denver, and deciding to become a permanent resident of Canada. Two children GK and Leslie ages 33 and 31 respectively. My 15 year marriage to Therese DesCamp. Using my gifts and skills to try to make in small ways a safer, more just place for everyone at life�s table.

Memories:
|
We had a great class and great teachers. I hold a deep affection for West Essex, as it helped me grow and be prepared to meet an ever changing world. It was fun to break in a new school! Football games and David Griffin�s Model A. The student store. Holding down the bench for the basketball team.
