He had started on an advanced degree, but the pressures of WWII forced him into work developing airplane propellers for General Motors. After WWII he moved to New Hampshire to hike and ski where he met Nancy Drew, a Smith College graduate and WWII veteran. They married, and ventured west to Seattle in search of larger mountains and a career at Boeing where he worked for 40 years until retirement. Throughout his life he has been an enthusiastic skier, mountaineer, kayaker and bicyclist, until a road-bike accident ended his active lifestyle at 92. He lives near Seattle with his wife, Ann, and their dog, Laika.view less
