LIFE SINCE GRADUATION
Anne and I were married in 1978 in New York. I was working for Citibank, and she worked for Brunshwig et Fils. Shortly thereafter we began our odyssey: five years in Cleveland, four years in Saudi Arabia, five years in Atlanta, then back to Cleveland in 1992, where we have been since. Daughter Charlotte went to college in Charleston, S.C., which introduced us to that city. After falling in love with the place, we bought a house there, and now we go back and forth between Ohio and South Carolina. I have been very fortunate over the years. I had a successful career and most importantly, a wonderful family.
