MICHIGAN

After college, I attended Albert Einstein College of Medicine, and then did my medical residency at the University of Pennsylvania and cardiology fellowship at Yale.

During medical school, I married Michelle Miron, a former Doll House member. We lived in Connecticut for about 17 years and since 1993, we have been in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

I am a full time cardiologist at Oakwood Hospital and Medical Center in Dearborn, Michigan. I am Medical Director of the Cardiac Care Units and Cardiology Quality Management.

Michelle is a psychiatrist on the faculty at the University of Michigan and was recently the President of the American Psychiatric Association.

We have two wonderful daughters, Alissa, a lawyer, and Erica, a high school student.

NEW JERSEY

After graduation, I managed to flunk out of law school but subsequently earned a Master's and a Doctorate in Education from Northwestern, as well as a Master's in Business from the Sloan School at M.I.T.

I've worked as a public-school teacher and as a professor, as well as a business consultant for more than 50 years.

I've taught for the New York City public schools, for the Northbrook, Illinois, and for the Billerica and the Marlboro, Massachusetts, public schools. I've taught at St. John's University, Metropolitan College of New York, Kansas State University, Franklin Pierce College, the School for Visual Arts, and the Foothill DeAnza Community College District in Cupertino, California.

My corporate clients have included Mass Mutual Insurance, Warner-Lambert, Cummins Engine, Sandoz Pharmaceuticals, Baker Sand Control, Brown, Root & Braun Engineering, Baker Communications, Quality Mortgage, and Countrywide Credit Industries.

I am still working full-time as a Professor of Early Childhood Education at the University of the District of Columbia, teaching remotely online, in Spanish and English.

My wife, Hilda, is a retired special education and American Sign Language teacher.

We are domiciled in New Jersey but love traveling outside the country.

Last year, I was elected President of Global Tassels, an international non-profit that provides free post-secondary education to the poorest children around the world, supporting students in India, the Philippines, Columbia, Kenya, Cambodia and Jamaica.

I've raised a total of five children, two from my first marriage, a marriage that ended in the untimely death of my wife, Susie, at age 31, on my son's first birthday. Two stepchildren from another marriage, and my stepson, Joey (Hilda's son from her late first husband -- who died while in his early 40's).

I cherish all my memories of Bamboo , the Intramurals, Frolics, Follies, parties on weekends, the endless card games, and the friendships with the members of our sister house plans I met along the way.

TOLEDO, OHIO

Since my last up date (7 years ago) my wife Angel and I parted and went separate ways ...still friends, though. With the divorce came a permanent relocation for me in Toledo, Ohio. We used to snowbird back and forth between Fort Myers, FL and Toledo, OH. It was best for me to live permanently in Toledo, so here I am.

I have three children. Michael is deceased and left behind two children Aryian, 24 and Michael Jr. 20 who both reside in Tampa, FL. Jason, wife Melissa have two children. Drew 19 and Derek 17. They reside in Suffern, NY. Janel and husband Craig have four children. Cameron 24, Mackenzie 12, Trent 11 and a new baby boy who will be 3 in March.


Callan

They reside in Orlando, FL. So I am not near any of them, but FaceTime often and visit when I can.

I practiced chiropractic for 30 years and retired in 1997. After a few years of just messing around, common sense came calling so I went into teaching on the high school level in 2005. I taught 8 years and fully retired in 2014. I lost my mother three years ago. She was almost 99 years old. I still miss her. She was my best friend.

I still golf in the warmer weather often and can actually say that I am improving with age. I also do a little part time gig work for play money. I guess that will be my reunion stash.

And finally, sadly my older dog passed on so now it’s just my loveable Jake.
