1960s- some university studies, son Christopher and daughter Cynthia born, seasonal
Ranger US Park Service, engaged in film industry primarily news and documentaries,
aerospace industry manufacturing, second marriage and son Bryan. Five grand-kids from
all this over the years---Burke Webster and Isabel Quinn(Chris and Elizabeth) in Vermont
and Sydney, McKenna and Megan (Bryan and Stephanie) in Salt Lake City. West Coast to
East Coast with AZ & COLO in between.

1970s- aerospace manufacturing then self-employment as a dwelling restorer, began
classical solo and group singing again. Started sponsoring/presenting art and music in
Denver.

1980s-continued to be self-employed, founded/sponsored/presented Denver’s first
professional chamber orchestra The Cordilleran Consort-11 strings and a harpsichord NO
CONDUCTOR, produced numerous classical concerts and recitals, sponsors and
presented French harpsichordist Brigitte Haudebourg at Carnegie Hall, NYC (she earned
herself a rave review in the NY Times), then sponsored and presented 42 Colorado
artists and 13 living composers at the Kennedy Center Wash DC.---all this while doing
restoration work on a house in Boston. Always as a one man staff with little money-
seldom accepted money from anyone- all out of a ’69 Ford Van . Went Broke Numerous
Times---fixed houses to pay the debt, then did it again. Great stories to tell. [ In 1983 did
the starring role of Ivan The Terrible with the Denver Symphony](type cast?? some
think). Still have some debt.

1990s-engaged in scientific research of selected archaeological and paleontological
materials, published in scholarly venues—some of this is seen on the website. Invited to
Moscow by The Russian Academy of Science Cited in New Scientist.

2000s-wore myself out ( inherited diabetes & recently had three coronary stents installed
[roto-rooter style]) and am now trying to write up remaining research and stories. Living
in senior housing, getting some new ideas...

I went back thru the past reunion booklets and noticed I never said much-and maybe you
don’t want to now either- but here it is if you choose.
