in San Clemente, Ca

Of interest to other classmates: Currently I’m a partner
in a small International Investigation and Security consulting firm based
in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, however I have the pleasure of working out of an
office in my home. We provide security services, business and travel intelligence
and personal protection for employees and expatriates of U.S. corporations
who are traveling or residing in foreign countries. I have also taught
karate and personal defensive measures as a hobby for over twenty years.
Things I remember about Albion High School: I had more
fun at AHS than any one person is entitled to have!! This is probably the
reason that I had the opportunity to take geometry three times from Miss
Hieber. AHS provided me with not only a good education (in spite of myself)
but with a lifetime of wonderful memories: beautiful autumn days, burning
leaves, football games, watching Hosie Hall score touchdowns, after-game
dances, great teachers, terrific coaches, working after school and weekends
at the Sportsman Shop, snow ball fights at the college, cruising the gut
with Buck and the boys, the pool hall, Duck Lake, parties on Burr Oak
street where the refreshments were always covertly stashed in a certain
teacher’s garage, watermelon raids, football practice at Victory Park,
ice skating in the evening, the drive-in movie, burgers at the A&W,
standing around with Buck and the boys “signifying” and generally being
disruptive, receiving special attention from Harry Williams and Ray Sovjak,
and most importantly life long friends such as Harlo & Jay, Graham,
Sue, Buck and many others. Looking back, I don’t know how I survived high
school but I sure had fun!
