Hello everyone.
After West High, I attended Pomona College, the University of Denver, Drake University, and the University of Miami. Since then, I’ve spent my working career as a tax accountant, tax professor, and tax lawyer, all in Denver.
Along the way, in Des Moines, I met Abbie, a fellow Drake student, from Honolulu. We dated for 10 years and have been married for 34. No kids. Abbie is a graphic designer. We’re both still working, although on gradually declining schedules.
For fun, we hike, bike, ski, and run. As with Chris Wilhite, my runs are getting slower and shorter, especially since I got A-Fib last year. I’m interested in trading notes with anyone else who is still running (at my email address ). I’ve gotten used to being greeted as “sir,” and complimented for “still getting out there,” by the younger runners at races. I’m not crazy about it, but I’ve gotten used to it.
Thanks a million to Dave for setting up and running the class website. I like telling my friends that one of my high school classmates invented facebook ten years before facebook was invented.
Have fun,
Mark
