Class of ‘68
OK, the Cliff notes version McGill-‘68
‘68-72 Colgate, great experience. As a senior I met my future wife Barbara L. Grossman, a freshman at the ‘Gate
‘73-75 BC Grad School, MBA – worked full-time/school full-time. Married Barbara a week after graduation.
‘75-83 Started sales carrier in the ski industry, then switched to office related products sales (mini computers, word processing and such). Moved to metro NY and established leadership position in office products company to have company close division! Reality check #1 · 7-9-82 Daughter Jennifer Jane born!!! Reality Check #2 ’83-90 Joined Steelcase and learned that a “simple business was one of the most complex I’d ever experienced”. · 4-11-84 Son Scott Michael born!!! Reality Check #3
Then CHAOS – Soccer, Baseball, Basketball (where did that come from?). Disneyworld, museums, farms, summer house in Maine, living, learning, growing, running programs, you know…WOW.
Couple of things along the way - blown shoulder (wrestling at the ‘Gate). Toasted knees (TMS-too much sports) for future consideration.
Other things-built a $10 million business with my wife…lost same…saw kids grow into adults. Became a lover of the outdoors.
Became a believer in the Champion of the Gospels, never expected that, but then again it’s not about me…
Most recently returned to Boston area, returned to Steelcase, got knees replaced, good things, all three.
Consistent in this journey has been my spouse, my partner and love, Barbara.
That’s 40 years, in a proverbial heartbeat.
‘Been a good journey so far J
