I went onto Yale Law School after Kenyon, and following Yale I spent two years in the U.S. Army, including a tour in Vietnam where I was attached to the State Department.  I then practiced law in NYC continuously until my retirement in 2009, primarily at the Battle Fowler firm and then with Paul Hastings after that firm’s merger with Battle Fowler in 2000.

My practice consisted of the broad range of business litigation, including the representation of the limited partners (including Paul Newman) in the Helmsley Palace Hotel in two high-profile cases resulting in multi-million dollar judgments and the removal of Harry and Leona Helmsley as general partners.  Some years later, Leona Helmsley retained me to represent the Empire State Company (the owner of that landmark building) in thwarting a takeover attempt by Donald Trump. In 2004 I represented the State of Connecticut in a highly publicized and successful action against the private equity firm Forstmann Little, resulting from failed and improper state pension fund investments.

Although I have served as class agent at Yale Law School for many years, my primary interest has been Kenyon. I am now a Trustee Emeritus after serving thirty years on the Board, including eighteen years as Secretary and six as Vice-Chair.  I am told that I am the longest serving Trustee in the twentieth century; the college is still researching the nineteenth.

Ingrid and I just celebrated our fortieth wedding anniversary. We have left New York City and now reside some eighty miles north in Millbrook, New York where we have maintained a home for thirty years.Since my retirement, Ingrid and I have enjoyed traveling (including a safari in Tanzania with our kids) and, happily, I have found that extra time on the golf course has sent my handicap in the right direction.  Our proudest accomplishments are our two children,son Kenyon,  an environmentalist residing on one of the San Juan Islands in Washington State, and daughter, Alexis,  a social worker in Boston.

I credit Kenyon with whatever success I have had and cherish the lifelong friendships that began and continue on middle path.Kenyon is a unique and special place- the kind of place that no matter where you came from, or what you wanted to do, you were never the same when you left.
