Dear Classmates,

I have thoroughly enjoyed putting this site together. It has been a blast reflecting on my years at Westtown (the absolute pinnacle of my educational career), and thinking about what a wonderful community the school is.

Peter Woodrow and I spent several evenings puzzling out who everybody was in the graduation photo that Mary Brooks (the school archivist) sent me. 40 years can leave a lot of holes in the memory, but we got it right - at least according to the key that I later received from Mary!

It has also been great reading the responses coming in from classmates, and then editing them for posting on this site.

As you can see from the style on this site (or rather lack of it), I am a novice at web programming. Putting up this site has been a good excuse for me to learn a bit about it - it is something I have been meaning to do for a while, but never quite got around to. I have had the good fortune to have the help and counsel of my upstairs neighbor Margarita Drozdoff, who is a web designer and who has been invaluable for providing incentive, resources, and for explaining to me some of the fine points of HTML code. Margarita is also graciously hosting our page at her Inklings Studio site - thanks.

If you have any Ideas, Additions, Comments, or Corrections regarding this site, don't hesitate to let me know.

My best to you all,
