After 24 years, Roger Bates left his previous consulting company to form his own airport consulting business in Belmont, Calif. He says he’s enjoying the freedom that self-employment provides and is doing more a cappella singing with his quartet, Pacific Heights, and a local jazz ensemble, the Baytones. Roger enjoyed seeing classmates Colin Weber, Steve Oxman, and Steve Parker at the Nassoon 55th reunion in Apr. 1996.
In June 1996, Ted Weiss joined the law firm of Clements, O’Neill, Pierce and Nickens in Houston as a partner specializing in commercial litigation. Ted’s wife, Ann, will receive a graduate degree in spring ’97 in psychology from the U. of Houston. Ted reports that their children (all great) are David (18), Elizabeth (16), John (14), and Jim (11). Ted writes, “I attended and thoroughly enjoyed the 50-year Tigertone reunion in Oct. 1996 with Mike Wyatt and Johnny Johnson.”
Chick Walter wrapped up his second year of GAO reports and testimonies on Medicare HMOs for the Senate Special Committee on Aging and the House Ways and Means Subcommittee on Health. Chick has spent the last six years living in and rejuvenating a stone house in Arlington, Va. He says that the house could pass for an offspring of Cloister Inn.
John Huyler writes that he continues to enjoy life immensely while trying to live it to the fullest. “My work as a mediator takes me far and wide. . . . All my work has public policy components. A couple of years ago we built a new home on Open Space in Boulder, Colo., where DeAnne and our six-year-old daughter, Jesse, all intersect.”
Jim Sisserson writes that his first grandchild, Joshua, was born to daughter Paige and son-in-law Rick Lzoka on Nov. 9, 1996, in Laurel, Md. Professionally, Jim writes that mediation is a great alternative to practicing law, and he has no regrets since retiring at the end of 1995.
