Attorney at Schipano, Norman & McLain, PA (Senior Counsel)

After finishing law school at UM in 69, I served 3 years in the Air Force in Los Angeles, where I enjoyed West Coast jazz, camping in the Sierras, and living in Hermosa Beach. Along the way I met Dee, and we were married in 1972. We have lived in Sarasota for thirty years and have three grown children. Patty is married and currently working on a dissertation in English Victorian literature. Rob is working in Washington D.C. as a computer tech and will be married later this summer. Our youngest, Stewart, is working on a film project at the University of Iowa and planning on being the next George Lucas or something. Meanwhile, I continue to practice law and try to make enough time for sailing, golf, running, camping, traveling and music. I'm still practicing my saxophone. I laid off for about 25 years while I was involved with singing, leading the church music off and on, and a little theater work. Since picking my horn up again, I have been playing with the Sarasota Concert Band and leading a 17 piece jazz/dance band. I am very lucky to have an indulgent wife and no close neighbors!

It's been fun reading the bio's on the web site. What magnificent things our high school friends have accomplished! I hope all the "lost" people get found in time for the reunion!

Update for 60th Reunion

Dee and I celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary February 5th this year, with a trip to Fairbanks, Alaska, with the goal of seeing the Northern Lights. Mission accomplished our second night there, fabulous clear night, minus 20 degrees, spectacular Aurora! All of our children (Patty, Rob and Stewart) and grandchildren (Niamh, Stewart, Ely and Marney) and respective spouses joined us in Sarasota during spring break in March to make it an official family celebration. I am continuing to practice law part-time with my son, Rob, which is a blessing. I keep saying that I will retire one of these days, but it hasn't happened yet. My musical career also continues with my 16 piece band, "Sarasota Jazz Project," playing regularly 2 nights a week. Adding church orchestra twice a week, I stay pretty busy
