Tell us what you’re doing with your life:
I have been a lifelong HR professional in Chicago (twice), Phx., Buf., Indy (twice) and the UK. Happily married 38 years to Peggy, a nurse from Valpo – three kids (lawyer, realtor, standup comedian – google Megan Gailey and you can see her on Conan O’Brien, Comedy Central, etc.). Her mother is very funny. I have been active in food banking and United Way and am in a band called Nucklehead. See us on facebook and see a number of us play and sing at Reunion in June 2017.
In what year did you last set foot on the Ithaca campus, and what was the purpose of your visit?
On campus September 17 and 18, 2016 for Reunion Kickoff Workshops. We all laughed while learning the entire time. I have been to reunion every five years with my bride Peggy. We are really looking forward to June 2017 and are honored to help Cara, Donna, Karen and Halsey as C0-Chairs. C’mon down!
