Which teachers and fellow alumni do you most want to see at Reunion and why?
Ms Melchiore has to be top of that list. She was great both as a teacher and an advisor. Mrs Venable, and DC would be great to see too.
What is your favorite memory of your time at PDS/USN?
I believe that Junior and Senior year Bernie Hosey and I played Ultimate everyday on the Green, regardless of rain or snow. That was great. But in between 1st grade and 2nd grade, USN started summer camp, and I remember standing next to Kent Chen while he and I shot real metal tipped, target arrows, across the basketball courts. I bet you can't do that anymore.

Wife and our three kids, lots of running, and watching TV’
