It's interesting to see where people went after June 1968.
For me, it was on to Yale, singing in the Bakers' Dozen with Dean Evans, then marriage to my first wife Jill, on to social work school, settling in Boston area to work with people with mental retardation and other disabilities.  Had 3 beautiful girls-Rachel in 1981, Sophie in 1984, and Hannah in 1988.  In 1989, I fell off a ladder while paining my house and entered the disability community myself with a T-12 spinal cord injury.  I use a wheelchair now and have concentrated my psychotherapy practice on working with people with disability and chronic illness.  It's been great work.  Then in 1993, my daughter Sophie died in an auto accident, the marriage ended, and we restarted our lives in new towns.  I met the most wonderful woman in the world, Ellen, who had been widowed a year earlier with 2 preschoolers, we married and have settled in Beverly, growing in wonderful ways.  My oldest daughter Rachel is graduating from Georgetown and going on to the Peace Corps, my Hannah is a freshman in high school who tried getting a program in SPS-rich town of Hamilton on tolerance of diversity-the town selectmen opposed it and Hannah and I ended up getting on the Today Show.  It was fun.   I am blessed with wonderful children.
I'm a liberal-I believe strongly in social responsibility and feel we in America have lost our connection to the less developed parts of the world.  I'm a recovering Episcopalian attending a Unitarian-Universalist church, where I really have found my community.  St. Paul's gave me a great education, but I can't support its place in the world today.
I'd love to see where all you have gone.
