after 65 did stint of military service, went to cape cod college for associates degree, then umass boston for bachelors, and finally springfield college for master's degree and some additional courses. worked in human services for most of time and continue to for a company out of middleboro today. somewhere in this process met and married to beverly and still in love to this day, have three great children and several pets and still live in southeastern mass area. getting ready to retire although may continue to work....

Remember coming back to NBHS to take college boards when I had started going to Cape Cod College for evening classes. Was late sixties and had worked and partied the evening before down on the cape, and then came up the front stairs of the old school on County Street to take the test. Who was at top of stairs but Mr. Luchetti (pardon the spelling if wrong) the old and close to retiring assistant principal, and head of the traffic squad. Given the times, my long hair (which I no longer have any of), and cut off jeans and general hippy look, he looked me up and down with a frown and with his head shaking from side to side. Then he commented "Well I guess you will never amount to anything".... Well went on to take the boards, posted good scores, and continued on with college and life. Still remember the difference in attitude however of how "our generation" was looking for a spirit and attitude towards others that was so different and atypical from the older generation which we now have become.
