Forty years and we are all getting younger! After graduation I lived in Akron until 1974 and worked for Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company in the Physical Testing Division of R&D. I married a girl from New Jersey who attended Springfield High School and had two daughters. In 1974, I married a girl from Barberton and moved to Houston Texas where I was employed with Sarah Lee Coffee and Tea in Quality Assurance and Production Management. We had two sons. I am now retired and have moved back to Akron and live in the house I was raised in since I was eight years old on Kingsley Avenue. I have two daughters, two sons and five grandchildren.

I have not picked up a musical instrument in thirty years, although music was always and still is my passion. However, my youngest daughter and oldest son have followed this path in their carriers. My oldest son procures his musical supplies from Joseph Lentine and we have purchased two horns from Mr. Lentine. I walk by the school often, especially when the band is practicing
