For our Fiftieth Get-to-Gether, here are some of the high spots that might be of interest to you that happened to old "Jeff '. I must say that I have been lucky to have had good health and to have been in the right place at the right time. In fact that was how I met my wife Peggy. We're still together after 40 years! We have two sons -Jeff and Sandy - both in their thirties. Jeff lives and works for Stanford as a computer specialist in their Research Dept. Sandy lives in Anchorage, Alaska, and works for the State as Chief Chemist in the Environmental Dept. He is the father of our "one and only" grand-daughter, Allison, who will be 5 in July.
At Amherst, I took Pre-Med, and then attended Cornell Medical College for one year. It didn't work out Picker X-Ray Company hired me as a Sales engineer to call on doctors and hospitals. I covered several territories-New York, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Washington and Reading.
After WWII, I returned to Picker X-Ray for a while, then worked for Philco Distributors in both Sales and Sales Promotion, some time with an Advertising Agency - Hutchins. In 1948, Peggy and I were married in New York City and lived in Greenwich Village.In1954, I was hired by Stromberg-Carlson as their Sales Promotion Manager- Television Div. - and we moved to Rochester, NY. This was great for a year until reorganization meant dropping the Radio and Television Line. Again I was lucky. Eastman Kodak hired me as a Promotion Assistant to a manager. When he retired 5 years later I took over the Department.
Zoe and I have done a fair amount of traveling since our relocation to the West Coast, primarily in the western states including Hawaii and Alaska.
In 1983 moved to a small, low maintenance home adjoining one of the many golf courses in San Diego. Zoe continues to enjoy her music, photography, and gardening, while I maintain my interest in golf, although my ability to play the game is sorely lacking.
