Wow -- 50 years in one paragraph. Here are the key events:
got a PhD in mathematics, married twice and divorced twice. At
age 44 I had my only child, Peter McMillan Evett. My son died
at age 8, of unknown causes -- probably a bad gene from one
or both of his older parents.
After a 30-year teaching career at Ithaca College in upstate NY
I left my tenured position after Peter's death and moved to
Boston where I ended up as a biostatistician on a very large
and very interesting genomics study of trauma victims.
I retired at age 65 and my current(10 years so far)partner Fred
Fitzmeyer and I sailed away from Boston October 2007 on our
41' cutter Tashtego. We have been living the good life cruising
in the Caribbean ever since. Because there is NO INTERNET
BANDWIDTH in the Caribbean I am not posting my e-address
and I do not do Facebook (sorry). I do post essays from time
to time at www.sailblogs.com/member/tashtego/ and you can
leave messages there that will get answered.
Several years ago I promised Paula Weger I would go to the
reunion with her and two of my sisters Deborah and Kate still
live in Tucson. So I will be at the reunion and I will enjoy
hearing about your lives and plans.
