Recollections of College El
Personal News
After doing a double
major, English and Biology, at CMU I
went on to an M.A. in English in Ann Arbor and then teaching at NMU,
editing at
U-M, teaching English in Toronto and Stockton, CA. Then I did an LL.B.
at UBC
in Vancouver and have now
been
teaching business law at the B.C. Inst. of Technology for 30 years. My
wife,
Veronica Hedges, also attended CMU, graduated from NMU, Toronto
Teachers College and UBC and
then
worked in Special Ed for the Vancouver School Board for 30 years. She lost an eight-year battle with
ovarian cancer
last July. We have a 40-year-old daughter who moved back here a year
and a half
ago with her husband and two kids. She
is a medieval Celticist and he is a banker with a Cambridge Ph.D. in
modern
African history.
My
sister Jan died in
San Rafael a few years ago.
Bob
moved back to Weidman, MI,
from the Denver area about
three
years ago where he operates a business testing vehicles for rollover
and other
potentially fatal propensities primarily for plaintiffs' lawyers. He
was
featured on 60 Minutes 2 a while ago testing Ford E350 15-passenger
vans that
can tip over at 35 mph fully loaded when a collision avoidance maneuver
is
attempted. He also is the marshall
of Sherman Township,
so he gets to drive around in Mustang police cars and carry a lot of
guns. He
is married to his fourth wife, Gayle, and he has two kids from his
third marriage. My mother also moved back
to Mt. Pleasant
a couple of years ago from
Greeley,CO,
and now is a guest in Maplewood Manor.
Her physical health is okay but she has lost a lot of file cards
and has
only spotty recall of anything from the last 60 or 70 years.
