40 years. Whew! If I had
to sum it all up: Life has been grand what a surprise! The past
30 years have been spent living where I started, in Berkeley
working as an ophthalmologist in solo practice. Very happily (re)married
to Gail. I have a son Christopher who teaches biochemistry at
UCLA. Lived and worked for two years as a malariologist in Southeast
Asia and one year in Jerusalem as an eye surgeon at an Arab Eye
Hospital. Still travel a lot and play the cello. I plan to retire
soon to devote more time to God knows what?
As for what Pomona College
meant to me: as a freshman from radical Berkeley, sure that life
meant unavoidable conflict and going nose to nose with harsh realities,
campus life at Pomona just seemed too relaxed and wholesome not
enough angst. However, over the years since leaving, I've grown
to appreciate more "balance" and civility in my life
to counter the seemingly inexhaustible store of angst in this
universe, and I believe really started gaining some notion of
this better world at Pomona.
