I was born in Moorestown New Jersey, but moved to 803 Hodge in time for my eight birthday. My first friend in Ames was Carla Tesdall (also my 8 year old girl friend ... more about that at the reunion). I lived in Ames till I was 13, the summer of my 9th grade year. Times were tough for my parents, the University was cutting back. I said a tearful goodby to my (actual) girlfriend Robin Morgan and then my family drove off to my Dads new job in Berkeley California. When people ask me where home is I always think of Ames and the friends I left behind. I have always wanted to go back and visit Ames. I have kept in sporadic touch with Carla over the years and when she broached the idea of coming to the reunion I jumped at it. I can't wait to see Ames and hope that many of my old friends will be at the reunion. I will get a bio and some pictures posted shortly. See you all in September!
