Comments:

Lee and I were married 55 years ago. All of our kids and their kids (10) live nearby. Hallie and Peter have Caleb (24), Anna (22), Samuel (18), Avigail (16), and Simon (14). Sara and Joe have Luke (11), and Nora (9). Annie and Frank have Tate (16), & McLean (14), and Bowen Walter (12).

Lee was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer on 2/14/19. She did 6 rounds of very aggressive chemo and then had a nine hour “Whipple” surgery on 7/8. Three days later pathology showed NO CANCER. Finished the year with 6 more rounds of chemo. Lee and our family are truly blessed!!!!!

I was an Elementary school teacher for 4 years out of college. Then I spent 35 years in Sales/Sales Mgt...mostly in ophthalmology. I had my own Search Firm for 5 years, and I am still making some placements in retirement.
We have a cottage in Michigan that is special to the whole family and now we get to spend much more time there. Lee and I stay in shape walking, riding bikes, & chasing grandchildren.

Do you have a favorite school story or a funny memory?

I will miss Bruce David...both from High School ("Ramgren, Ramgren,...") and at Drake University. I have introduced his "name-calling" in several venues. Always fun.

I also am missing Coach Odlivak. He told those of us on the Baseball team that "It's OK to go to the Prom, so long as you're home by midnight. Anything that you need to do can be done by midnight". Then, as the bus was ready to leave for a double header to Oak Park that next morning (Saturday) at 7:30, he was not pleased as two of us boarded the bus in our tuxes. Nick Odlivak had a very positive impact on my life.

I have been thinking about you and the White Sox a lot lately… You because you are amazing, and them because they are absolutely not! What would Nelson Fox and Luis Aparicio say about your team? Aside from that, however, looking forward to talking to you and getting updated on your 2024. Happy birthday friend!

Wow, I have a lump in my throat. Not because Al and I have been close in these last number of years, but all throughout our time at Cleveland & Oakview.... we were best of friends. Then, to a lesser degree in high school. Baseball, basketball, any sport, we always had fun. Many, many days were spent riding our bikes and hanging out at or near Oakton Park… He lived maybe two blocks from there. As Steve said, you wonder how some of those really close relationships tend to fall by the wayside later in your life. He was definitely one of those people early in grade school and junior high who meant so much... Really great memories that are also now bittersweet…

Why didn’t I put this together before… Sitting at a table, waiting for my grandson to show up, whose birthday is today… 14 years old. He is bright, smiley, kind, and humble. What’s amazing, is that that sounds like you as well. I hope that your day is incredibly special, and that you are surrounded by loved ones! Love you, man!
