I retired in 2002 and Alan retired in 2003. I stay busy with volunteer work, am longtime president of our neighborhoood association, serve as a Guardian Ad Litem for foster children, and am a community activist for affordable housing and other municipal issues. Alan has stayed active professionally, continuing to review journal articles, write book chapters, teach, and serve as a consultant on research projects.We travel some, exercise some and Alan has made great strides in learning Spanish!! Susan is married to Joel Massel and lives in Chicago, working as a consultant in the cable industry. Joel runs a company he started which provides management services to several non-profit organizations. Neal and Lisa have a son, Sam (5/16/02) - Neal is Secy/Treas of SEIU 1099P health care workers union and Lisa is research director of a sister union. So, life has been good to Alan and me - we are both grateful for the wonderful public education we received. I am still amazed at the level of mathematics, English literature, American history and science education I received. Who ever heard of a sixth grade camping program as a part of the regular education program to teach us non-urban life skills? We are very thankful for all of our good fortune with family and friends. |
