"Pogo" comes to us from across the river each morning, but the funny part of this is he doesn't use either bridge. He never speaks above a whisper, but can always be relied upon in a tough spot to come through. His efforts on this yearbook help make it a success.

Joined the Navy after graduation from John Bapst and retired in 1974 as a Senior Chief Petty Officer. While in the Navy, and stationed in Boston, I met and married Phyllis Mancini.

We have been married for 47 years and have four children.

After retiring from the Navy, I went to work in Chicago as a buyer for S. S. White, a dental supply company. In 1980, I was offered a position at Northwestern University Dental School in Chicago as Assistant Dean for Business & Finance. I retired from the University in 1999.

Phyllis and I now enjoy retirement in Florida, playing golf, traveling, our 13 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren.
